The Indian Nationalist Movement was a campaign aimed at ending British colonial rule in India. It began in the late 19th century and gained momentum in the early 20th century, with various leaders and organizations advocating for independence. Key figures included Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose, who inspired millions to join the struggle for freedom. The movement employed various strategies, including non-violent protests, civil disobedience, and mass mobilization. Significant events, such as the Salt March in 1930 and the Quit India Movement in 1942, highlighted the demand for self-rule. Ultimately, India gained independence from British rule in 1947.
