India’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule was marked by both nonviolent and violent resistance. Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership in the non-cooperation movement (1920-1922) and the Quit India Movement (1942) mobilized millions in peaceful protests against British authority. Simultaneously, revolutionary groups like the Ghadar Party and Anushilan Samiti engaged in armed resistance. These combined efforts culminated in the transfer of power on August 15, 1947, ending British imperial dominance in the region. (britannica.com)
