Indian freedom struggle is one of the most significant progress in the history of India. It is essential for the new generation to know certain lessons from the freedom struggle of India to get an insight into the movements and events that led to independence.
The British people entered India in the year 1600 with the objective to trade certain items like silk, tea and cotton and slowly started ruling the country. They gradually started to create chaos in India and made Indian people as their slaves. Therefore, India went through some of the hardest times to gain independence from the British rule and the first movement against the British was initiated in the year 1857 by Mangal Pandey who was an Indian soldier.
There are were various other movements that helped India to get independence some of which were civil disobedience movement-this movement was started against the British Monopoly on salt due which Indians cannot trade or manufacture it and have to buy salt from British people by paying huge sums of money.
Quit India Movement was another hope for India to gain independence. This movement was instigated by Mahatma Gandhi and Indian National Congress on August 8, 1942, during the 2nd world war. This movement was started to end the British rule in India, however, it proved to unsuccessful but the Britishers realized that their power is declining gradually in India.
Also, in the year 1943, the Indian National Army was formed to impel British out of India. Soon the Britishers settled on an agreement and decided to move out of India which consequently took effect on 15th August 1947 and India gained Independence. Our various soldiers and freedom fighters sacrificed their lives and were sentenced to death in order to make India free from British rule.
India has a vast history of freedom struggle and there were various events including Simon commission, Rowlatt act, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and many more movements that helped India to acquire independence.
Explanation:
Many in the world were apprehensive of the success of democracy in India. Their belief was further strengthened when several countries in the region, including Pakistan, failed as democracies and chose an authoritarian and militarist path in its stead. But this did not happen in India, and we have crossed more than half a century as a democracy. India has falsified all the prophecies of doom. It is the ballot, and not the bullet, that reigns supreme in India.
India after Independence:
After a long and difficult freedom struggle, India attained her independence from British rule in 1947. But this independence came with the partition of the country. A new state of Pakistan was created with portions of Western and Eastern India, taken away from the Indian map.
West Pakistan took away Western Punjab, Sindh, and Baluchistan; East Pakistan was created with the partition of Bengal into East and West, the latter remaining with India. Thus, there was a long corridor of India that separated East Pakistan from West Pakistan. That such a formation of the new state was non-pragmatic and unworkable was proven by later events.
In 1971, East Pakistan broke its ties with the Western wing and became the separate country of Bangladesh. The subcontinent, which was once a single country, was divided into three nations. Meanwhile, the state of Sikkim, which was a separate kingdom ruled by the Chogyal monarchy, joined the Indian Union in 1975.
Independence arrived in India not only with ‘multiplicity of heritages and legacies’, but also with the pangs of partition that caused dislocation of populations on both sides. Several Muslim families from regions other than those that went to Pakistan decided to opt for the nationality of the new religious state and to migrate there, and numerous Hindu families from both East and West Pakistan got uprooted and came to India as homeless refugees.
