Since the Battle of Plassey in 1757, Britishers had become a thorn in the eye of Indians, with the exploitation measures becoming
more exploitative, by the year. The main Indian freedom struggle started with the formation of INC in the late 19th century, as before that, there were only local revolts, which were crushed easily by the British.
The various factors which forced British to leave India were:
1. India became less and less profitable for the Britishers, after the advent of Gandhian movements and INC’s efforts, with the bureaucrats continuously losing faith in the establishment.
2. Mass awakening in India: After the Moderates built a base for political struggle in the late 19th century, the extremists rested their faith in the masses too, with Gandhiji exploiting their full potential.
3. Evolution of the British opinion: It would have been impossible to peacefully transfer power if British public opinion was in not in favour of India and the entire decolonization process was actually effected by it
4. The bankrupt British govt after the world wars, could not maintain an empire, and everything went downhill from there.
Netaji had a different ideology then the conventional INC’s methods, due to his tilt towards leftist measures. He was
the INC president in 1938 and 1939. He also formed the Forward Bloc to rally all the left wing sections within the Congress and develop an alternative leadership inside the Congress. He provided an influential leadership and kept the spirit of nationalism burning during the slack period of national movement in India. He formed the INA suing the PoWs from Japan, to attack the British at its weak point during the WW2, which was a real morale booster for Indians back home. Bose advocated complete unconditional independence for India, whereas the All-India Congress Committee wanted it in phases, through Dominion status.
Hope that helped you..

By the end of world war 2 ,the british had become too weak to sustain its departure from India . In the post-war elections to the legislature , the Congress won all the general seats and the Muslim League won the seats reserved for Muslim. Due to White spread and rest in India the British Prime Minister Clement Attle decided to transfer power to Indians as soon as possible.
