The Indian Home Rule League

The Indian Home Rule League was a political movement established in the early 20th century, primarily by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1916. Its main goal was to achieve self-governance for India within the British Empire, advocating for greater autonomy and democratic rights. The movement emerged as a response to growing dissatisfaction with colonial rule and sought to empower Indians politically. It inspired widespread participation among various sections of society, laying the groundwork for later movements that ultimately led to India’s independence in 1947. The League emphasized unity among Indians and the importance of political activism.
