The Six-Point Movement

The Six-Point Movement was a demand made by Indian leaders in 1928, advocating for increased self-governance and rights within British India. It aimed for greater independence by seeking powers like control over defense, finances, and civil liberties for Indians, asserting that India should have more authority in its governance. The movement emphasized respect for linguistic and cultural diversity and sought to address regional and communal concerns. Although not fully achieved, it marked a significant step toward India’s independence movement, encouraging greater political participation and unity among Indian communities.
