Historical Context
British colonial rule in India was a period of  
approximately 200 years during which the British 
East  India Company and later the British Crown 
exerted  political, economic, and cultural dominance 
over the  Indian subcontinent. This era was marked 
by  exploitation, social changes, and the eventual 
struggle  for independence.
Freedom  
Struggle 
Icons
Mahatma Gandhi, a pivotal leader, advocated nonviolent civil  
disobedience and unity among diverse communities, playing a  
crucial role in India's path to independence. Jawaharlal Nehru,  
India's first Prime Minister, championed democratic values,  
industrialization, and non-alignment in global politics, shaping 
the  nation's early identity.
Road to 
Freedom
The Quit India Movement of 1942 was a nationwide call for 
civil  disobedience against British rule, marked by mass 
protests and  arrests. The Dandi March in 1930 saw Gandhi 
leading a 240-mile  salt march to protest against the British 
salt monopoly, igniting  widespread civil disobedience and 
drawing global attention.
