the Indian Independence Movement

The Indian Independence Movement was a struggle against British colonial rule in India, spanning from the late 19th century to 1947. It involved various social, political, and economic efforts, including peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and the demand for self-governance. Key figures like Mahatma Gandhi advocated non-violent resistance, while others, such as Bhagat Singh, took a more militant approach. The movement united diverse groups and eventually led to India gaining independence on August 15, 1947, resulting in the end of British rule and the establishment of India as a sovereign nation.
