Pan-Indianism is a movement of Aboriginal resistance to domination and assimilation and is characterized primarily by political and religious expression and solidarity. Key historical figures include Pontiac and Handsome Lake. Leaders since colonial times have advocated that Aboriginal people free themselves, even if this means violence.
Indian nationalistic movements, such as ones led by the Indian National Congress, had made attempts at self-rule but had never been completely successful. The great proponent of a free India, Mohandas K. Gandhi, was instrumental in the Indian Nationalist Movement.Known as the Mahatma, or the Great Soul, Gandhi forced change and an end to British imperialism through a strict policy of non-violence, or passive resistance.andhi was assassinated because of this conflict. Eventually, Pakistan was formed as a separate Muslim state. Therefore, the strength and will of the common people both achieved Indian independence and tore India apart. The story of Mahatma Gandhi and Indian nationalism is one of history's greatest ironies.
