what were people initiatives in resisting british rule
Answers
British colonial rule had a tremendous impact on all sections of Indian society. Can
you imagine being ruled by some strangers year after year? No, we cannot. Most
of us were born after 1947 when India had already become independent. Do you
know when the British conquered India and colonised its economy they faced stiff
resistance from the people. There were a series of civil rebellions. These rebellions
were led by rulers who were deposed by the Britishers, ex-officials of the conquered
Indian states, impoverished zamindars and poligars. It brought together people
having different ethnic, religious and class background against the British rule. In this
lesson, we will read about some important popular uprisings, their nature and
significance. We will also read about the uprising of 1857 which had a major impact
on our National Movement.
