What is a brief history of the relationship between India and Great Britain?
How did India gain independence from Britain?
India gained independence from Britain through a combination of nonviolent resistance led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi, international pressure, and negotiation. The Indian National Congress, founded in the late 19th century, played a key role in the independence movement. After World War II, Britain was weakened and could no longer maintain its colonies, and India's calls for independence grew louder. In 1947, Britain granted independence to India, but the country was partitioned into two states, India and Pakistan, which led to violence and displacement.
