The journey of India to independence was long, laborious, and fought with constant struggles, sacrifices, and unflinching determination. This country remained under British rule for many centuries, whose people were been exploited, oppressed, and their culture erased. But as the 20th century dawned, a sense of nationalism began stirring due to visionaries like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhash Chandra Bose. Non-violent resistance, civil disobedience, and various fearless acts of activism mobilized the masses against the throttling by the British Empire in India. It was the Quit India Movement, the Salt March, and scores of other protests and uprisings that finally led to the ultimate withdrawal of British forces on August 15, 1947. As the tricolor flag was hoisted, a nation was reborn, its people finally free to forge their destiny with all triumphs and tribulations.
