Historical Description:  The Indian freedom struggle was the long political and social struggle of India against British colonial rule, which ultimately led to independence in 1947.

It began in the 19th century with reform movements and gained strength through the Indian National Congress. Important figures included Mahatma Gandhi, who promoted the path of non-violent resistance (Satyagraha), and Subhas Chandra Bose, who organized an armed struggle through the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army). The freedom struggle combined mass movements, civil protests, and military efforts, and played a decisive role in ending British rule in India.
