Imperialism leads to independence movements in colonized areas because the fact that they lock them up and make them slaves, gives them a reason to have an independence movement. They wouldn't need an independence movement in the first place if the people who "colonized" them didn't treat them like slaves.

Republic of Congo and India
The Congo is a country on the continent of Africa. As such it could not meaningfully want or get independence from Africa. It was however a Belgian colony and sought independence from Belgian as was the fashion of the times.

There was NO "longtime dictator of the Belgian Congo". -When Belgium gave the Congo independence in 1960 it ceased to be Belgian Congo and became Katanga in the south and Congo Republic in the north. - Soon after independence, Joseph Mobuto took over the whole country and renamed it Zaire. Mobuto may be the dictator you are thinking of.
