During the World War I(1914-1918), several Indian troops were sent to fight for the British as India was its colony. As a result at least 74,187 Indians died during the war.
Before the World War I, nationalist sentiments were seen under the "Home Rule League", a group of political workers that demanded the government of Indians in their country.
As many Indians lost their lives serving the British agenda without any benefit in the war, the sentiments grew. The "Home Rule League" got strengthened and the "Purna Swaraj(Total Independence)" movement was led by nationalist youth.
