Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Gandhi resolved to fight back against oppression and injustice using nonviolent resistance, or "Satyagraha." He believed in the power of peaceful protest to challenge colonial rule and promote social change. His approach aimed to mobilize the masses while adhering to principles of truth and nonviolence. This strategy was pivotal in the Indian independence movement against British colonialism.

Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent resistance and his advocacy for Indian independence were significant during World War II, as India was a British colony involved in the war effort. Gandhi opposed the British decision to involve India in the war without consulting Indian leaders, leading to the Quit India Movement in 1942, which demanded an end to British rule. Despite the war's devastation, Gandhi's principles of nonviolence and civil disobedience continued to inspire movements for freedom and justice worldwide. His stance during this tumultuous period highlighted the intersection of colonialism, war, and the struggle for self-determination.

The term "Raj" refers to British rule in India from 1858 to 1947, following the dissolution of the British East India Company's control. It symbolizes the colonial governance and administration imposed by the British over the Indian subcontinent. The term is also associated with the broader impact of colonialism on Indian society, economy, and culture during this period. Additionally, "Raj" can mean "rule" or "kingdom" in several Indian languages.
INDEPENDENCE DAY means a day when India gained its freedom from British rule. India was under the British rule for 3-4 centuries. It was in 1857 that India started its independence struggle forcefully through a revolt named "The Great Revolt" against the British. Mahatma Gandhi was the spine and brain behind the Indian independence struggle. Gandhi promoted "Nonviolence" or "Ahimsa" against the cannons and rifles of the British. His words of wisdom were followed by almost every Indian of that age, to follow nonviolence and struggle with perseverance, and the British finally manumitted India from its bondage. India's independence struggle is a huge epic on its own. Nonviolence was the weapon used to free India. That's why India, even today, doesn't want to resort to force or war unless there is some menace to the security/integrity of Indian unity. India gained independence after nearly 200 years of British rule on 15 August 1947, and the Indian tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi. I am proud to be an Indian.
Buddhism helped promote vegetarianism--the practice of ahimsa, or nonviolence.
The British wanted the Indians to export raw materials to Britain as Indian raw materials were of good quality, low cost and also as the Indian market would accept the goods whose raw materials originated there. Another reason is that the British knew that once trade was successfully established, it would be easier to colonize Indian Princely States.
