among the Indians
Answers
Answer:
The Nationalist Movements in India were early popular movements seeking independence of India from Great Britain. Although actions such as the Salt March in 1930 raised pressure on the colonialist administration and won concessions, these remained limited in scope and fell short of the complete independence sought.
Because the concept of India itself was British, opponents of colonial rule faced difficulties to co-operation at the national scale. Instead, regional movements such as the Nizamiyat, the local nawabs of Oudh and Bengal and other smaller powers independently confronted the East India Company.[1]
The Swadeshi movement encouraged the Indian people to stop using British products and start using their own handmade products. The original Swadeshi movement emanated from the partition of Bengal in 1905 and continued up to 1908. The Swadeshi movement which was a part of the Indian freedom struggle was a successful economic strategy to remove the British empire and improve economic conditions in India. The Swadeshi movement soon stimulated local enterprise in many areas.
