 Indian independence movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian independence movement consisted of efforts by India to obtain political independence from British, French and Portuguese rule; it involved a wide spectrum of Indian political organizations, philosophies, and rebellions between 1857 and India's independence on August 15, 1947.
The movement came to a head when between 1918 and 1922, the first series of non-violent campaigns of civil disobedience were launched by the Indian National Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.
The Indian political spectrum was further broadened in the mid-1920s by the emergence of both moderate and militant parties, such as the Swaraj Party, Hindu Mahasabha, Communist Party of India and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
