The Swadeshi Movement was a significant event in the freedom struggle, which began in 1905 in response to the British government’s decision to partition Bengal. The movement, led by Surendranath Banerjee and Rabindranath Tagore, called for Indians to boycott British goods and promote Indian-made products (swadeshi).
The freedom struggle, which had begun in 1857, had finally achieved its goal, with India emerging as an independent nation. The events of 1857 to 1947 had been a testament to the courage, resilience, and determination of the Indian people, who had fought tirelessly for their freedom and self-determination.
The Indian National Congress (INC) was founded in 1885 by A.O. Hume, a British civil servant. Initially, the INC was a platform for Indians to express their grievances and demand reforms from the British government. However, over time, the organization became a key player in the freedom struggle, with leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Mahatma Gandhi advocating for Indian independence.
The Non-Cooperation Movement, launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920, was a mass movement that sought to challenge British authority through non-violent means. The movement called for Indians to withdraw from British institutions, boycott British goods, and engage in civil disobedience.
The Quit India Movement, launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1942, was a final push for Indian independence. The movement, which began on August 8, 1942, called for the British to “quit India” and grant Indians immediate independence.
