India’s road to independence was long and filled with struggle. Let's explore this journey.
The fight began in the 1850s with the Revolt of 1857, where soldiers and civilians fought against British rule.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Lala Lajpat Rai inspired people to fight for freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi led the non-violent struggle for independence, with movements like Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience, and Quit India.
In 1930, Gandhi’s Salt March to Dandi to protest the salt tax galvanized the nation.
In 1942, the Quit India Movement demanded an end to British rule. “Do or Die” became the rallying cry.
World War II weakened the British Empire. The Indian National Army, led by Subhas Chandra Bose, also fought for independence.
On August 15, 1947, India finally became an independent nation. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister.
India's freedom was won through the efforts of countless brave souls. Let's honor their legacy. Happy Independence Day.
