The document discusses the nationalist movement in India against British rule. It began as Indians realized they had more in common with each other than with the British foreigners who ruled them harshly and exploited India economically. Mahatma Gandhi became the most important leader of the nationalist movement, advocating for nonviolent civil disobedience through movements like non-cooperation and quit India. Key events in the movement included the partition of Bengal, Jallianwala Bagh massacre, and the government of India acts, with the ultimate result being Indian independence.
