2. In the year 1857, the first
freedom struggle was
started by an Indian
soldier Mangal Pandey.
This struggle was a great
event against British rule.
This struggle was not
accidental but a result of
the discontent of the entire
century. A great plan was
made and implemented for
this.
3. On 28 December 1885, the Indian
National Congress was founded
at Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit
College in Bombay, with 72
delegates in attendance. Hume
assumed office as the General
Secretary, and womesh chunder
bonnerjee of Calcutta was elected
president. Besides Hume, two
additional British members (both
Scottish civil servants) were
members of the founding group ,
william wedderburn and Justice
(later, Sir) jonh jardine. The
other members were mostly
Hindus from
the bombay and madras
persidence
4. On March 12, 1930, Indian
independence leader
Mohandas Gandhi begins a
defiant march to the sea in
protest of the British
monopoly on salt, his
boldest act of civil
disobedience yet against
British rule in India.
Britain's Salt Acts
prohibited Indians from
collecting or selling salt, a
staple in the Indian diet.
5. The twenty-four day march lasted from 12
March 1930 to 5 April 1930 as a direct
action campaign of tax
resistance and nonviolent protest against
the British salt monopoly. Another reason
for this march was that the Civil
Disobedience Movement needed a strong
inauguration that would inspire more people
to follow Gandhi's example. Gandhi started
this march with 78 of his trusted
volunteers. The march spanned 240 miles
(390 km), from Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi
, which was called Navsari at that time (now
in the state of Gujarat). Growing numbers of
Indians joined them along the way. When
Gandhi broke the British Raj salt laws at
8:30 am on 6 April 1930, it sparked large
scale acts of civil disobedience against the
salt laws by millions of Indians.
6. The Quit India Movement
(translated into several
Indian languages as the
Leave India Movement),
also known as the August
Movement, was a
movement launched at the
Bombay session of the All
India Congress Committee
by Mahatma Gandhi on 8
August 1942, during World
War II, demanding an end
to British rule in India
7. Clement Attlee, the Prime
Minister of the United
Kingdom, announced on 20
February 1947 that: The
British Government would
grant full self-government
to British India by 30 June
1948 at the latest, The
future of the Princely States
would be decided after the
date of final transfer is
decided.
8. Early Life
Mahatma Gandhi came into this world on October 2,
1869. This great personality was born in an Indian
Gujarati family. Law training of this man took place at
the Inner Temple in London. The making of his
greatness took place in South Africa. It was here that
Mahatma Gandhi spent a significant part of his life.
Furthermore, in South Africa, Mahatma Gandhi raised
his family. Most noteworthy, it was here that Gandhi
fought for civil rights by employing nonviolent
resistance.
9. Mahatma Gandhi came back to India in 1915. By this time,
there was a significant escalation in the reputation of this
man. Furthermore, Mahatma Gandhi became famous as a
leading Indian nationalist. After his return, Gandhi became
part of the Indian National Congress. In 1920, this man
took leadership of the Congress.
As part of the freedom struggle, Mahatma Gandhi
launched important movements like Champaran
Satyagraha, Kheda Satyagraha, Khilafat, Non-Co-
operation, Salt Satyagraha, Civil Disobedience, and Quit
India. This shows the immense contribution of this man
towards Indian independence.
