Question

Which were the major political, economic and social developments in the world that motivated the anti-colonial struggle in india?

Answer 1

Various revolutions and rebellions in different parts of the globe motivated Indians to strive for the cause of freeing India from the yoke of British oppression. The influence of world events extends as far back as Tipu Sultan’s time, when he was inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution to fight against British forces in India. Later, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the American Revolution inspired Indians to fight off imperial and colonial forces, and nurtured in Indians a belief that they could also fight like their ideological compatriots in Russia and USA.
