Important figures of Indian National Movement
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
He was popularly known as Gandhiji. He was the greatest leader of the freedom movement. Although his principles were criticized on practical ground and said to deter the progress of freedom movement, they are remembered even today and consisted of high ideology. He was known as the greatest spiritual leader who inculcated the philosophy of non-violence and self-reliance. He was born in October 2, 1869 in Porbundar to Karamchand Gandhi and Putalibai. Although he studied law he was not very happy with his profession as a barrister because he wanted to contribute to the Indian freedom movement. He revolted against the British legislation in India on behalf of the poor peasants of indigo plantations of the textile mills who complained that they worked in very painful conditions. This movement was known as the Rowlatt Act. He started the non-cooperative movement to curb the economic and political policies implemented by the Britishers in 1922 and was taken for imprisonment for six years. After he was released from the prison he first brought unity among the Indians and inculcated a spirit of patriotism who was blindly following the practices of untouchablity. He said this factor mainly brought barrier to the Indian national movement. He then sent a letter to Lord Irwin that the laws imposed on salt was unfair and they would not obey to such brutal rules. The movement which this great leader practiced to curb the tax on salt was know as the movement of civil disobedience. He actively participated in the freedom movement of 1942 giving a mantra to the Britishers to 'Quit India". He was the leader who shed his energy, efforts and his spirit towards the attainment of freedom but did not expect anything for his contribution.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Jawaharlal Nehru who is known as Pandit Nehru became the first prime-minister of independent India. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth on November 14, 1889 to Motilal Nehru who was a well-known lawyer and Swaruprani. He also studied law from England and later on took an active part in the Indian freedom movement. He started his opposition towards the British rule when he joined Gandhiji for the discarding the legislations formed by the Britishers. He was arrested along with Gandhiji for opposing against the salt acts and after both of them were released they decided to reunite their party of congress and fight together for the cause. When he was elected as the president of All India Congress he took an important step from 1926 to 1928 to unite the great leaders together. In 1928, when Satyagrah movement took place, Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose opposed with the Britishers to grant dominion status to India. In 1936 when he was elected the president of Indian national congress, he did not support the Avadhi resolution and leaders like Gandhiji, Sardar Patel opposed his decision. He said that the main goal of India was independence not creation of socialism. During the world war II he opposed to many legislations passed by the Britishers. He took an active part in the Quit India movement in 1942 when the Congress part decided to confiscate all the goods produced by the British. He along with the other leaders were arrested in Aga Khan Place in Pune. When the World War II ended he was again released. He has written a famous book "The discovery of India" which brings a very close insight about Indian culture and the hidden riches of India in the past.
