How did India gain independence?
India, from 1860 to 1947 was a dominion of the British Empire. Before 1860 it was mainly ruled by powerful companies called East India Companies with the British East India Company being the largest and most powerful. However, the Indians accepted the trading at first as it also benefited them but eventually the trading turned into a monopoly and India was not benefitting from it as much as Britain and France and the other nations were. So eventually, the Indians rebelled in what was known as the Seypoy rebellions, and Britain reallised what would happen to its economy if the East India Company could not trade there so they sent in British Armies and crushed the rebellion. India from that point then became a part of the vast British Empire and was rulled by a small government called the British Raj and in 1860, officially the East India Company was no longer needed as the British had control over the resources that the Company wanted to import back to Britain.But they still needed to get the resources back to Britain so the activities of the Company were merged into the British Raj. From then on Indians were treated like second class citizens compared to the rulling British and in 1893 in South Africa, Mohandas K. Gandhi was kicked off of a train as he was in a first class carriage and as he was Indian he wasnt permited to be there and refused to leave. As Indians in South Africa, were prviously used as slaves, there was a lot of discrimination against them.He campaigned for many years and Indians in South Africa eventually gained rights in the Empire. In 1915 shortly after the outbreak of the first world war, Gandhi travelled to India where he had become a national hero. After many negotiations and campaigns by using non-violent non co-operation, Gandhi's campaign eventually gained sympathy from citizens in the empire and after the second world war, Britain was almost completely bankrupt and could no longer afford to keep enfocing its will upon India by using military presence so Britain granted India independance. After this Gandhi continued to solve problems such as civil inrest between Hindus and Muslims in India and the newly created East and West Pakistan. He went on a hunger strike and eventually the violence stopped. Not long after this, he was assassinated at point blank range and was renowned throughout the world as India's hero. His body was cremated and his ashes scattered in the holy river Ganges.

Who was the British prime minister of India?
Britain did not have a Prime Minister in India when it was a part of the British Empire; instead it had a Viceroy, who was appointed by the British Government and whose functions were somewhere between Prime Minister and President of the Colonial Government. Before it was ruled directly by the British Crown, India was run by the East India Company, a British trading and industrial conglomerate whose malpractice and lack of regard for the Indian people led to the Indian Mutiny of 1856. After this had been suppressed, the Company was forced to hand over Indian governance directly to the UK government and civil service. It was then that the position of Viceroy was created- there were a great number of Viceroys covering the ensuing 90 year period in between the end of the Mutiny and Indian Independence, and it wouldn't be possible to list them all here, but if you Google 'Viceroys of India', the Wikipedia page on the subject will give you a full list of them.

The Dutch East India Company was formed in 1602 by a wealthy Dutch merchants. The leaders of the Netherlands give so much power to the company because Unlike Portuguese and Spanish traders, whose expeditions were tightly controlled by government, the company wasn't. But it rather had full sovereign powers. With this freedom or power, it could build armies, wage war, negotiate peace treaties, and govern overseas territory. This help the company to dominate the South and Southeast region.
