Explanation:

The freedom struggle had various stages, in the form of many rebellions and armed revolts. There were many rebellions, throughout the nation during the first 100 years of British rule. This traditional opposition finally culminated in the revolt of 1857, in which princely rulers, soldiers as well as peasants, alike took part. The revolt was a product of the accumulated grievances of all these people towards British imperialism.Though a failure, it produced many heroes and also created unity among all Indians.Mangal Pandey is considered as one of the greatest heroes of the Revolt of 1857. Some of the other people, who fought in this revolt, were Rani Lakshmi Bai, Tantia Tope, and Nana Sahib. The revolt shook the very foundations of British rule in India. Finally, it led to the power of India to be transferred from the British East India Company to the British crown.

The period from 1885 to 1905 was the time for sowing the seeds of Indian nationalism. The Indian National Congress was formed in 1885, under the leadership of A.O. Hume, a retired British civil servant. In 1905, Viceroy Curzon initiated the partition of Bengal to curb the nationalist feelings among the people of India. This led to the launch of the Swadeshi movement and boycott of British goods and contrary to Curzon's plan, led to the unity of all Indians.

It was at this time that Gandhi appeared on the scene. His main contribution was his non-violent revolution and Satyagrah. He believed in truth, non-violence and love for fellow human beings. Gandhi launched the Salt Satyagraha, starting his march from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi. During the Second World War, Subhash Chandra Bose turned out to be one of the dynamic leaders of the time. He gave his leadership to the Ajad Hind Fauz.
