'''Indian Independence Movement''' refers to the long and multifaceted struggle of the Indian people to gain independence from [[British colonial rule]]. Spanning over a century, it involved social, political, and revolutionary efforts that culminated in India's independence on 15 August 1947.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/event/Indian-independence</ref>

== Early Resistance ==
The roots of the movement can be traced to the 18th and 19th centuries:
* Initial uprisings such as the [[Sanyasi Rebellion]] (late 1700s) and [[Vellore Mutiny]] (1806)
* The landmark [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], also known as the First War of Independence, posed a major challenge to British rule.<ref>https://www.history.com/topics/india/sepoy-mutiny</ref>

== Formation of Indian National Congress ==
In 1885, the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) was formed, marking a structured political beginning to the movement. Early leaders like [[Dadabhai Naoroji]], [[Gopal Krishna Gokhale]], and [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] laid the foundation of nationalist sentiment.

== Major Phases of the Movement ==

=== Swadeshi Movement (1905–1911) ===
Sparked by the [[Partition of Bengal]], it promoted the boycott of British goods and revival of indigenous industries.

=== Home Rule Movement (1916) ===
Led by [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] and [[Annie Besant]], this movement demanded self-government within the British Empire.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/event/Home-Rule-Movement</ref>

=== Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22) ===
Under [[Mahatma Gandhi]], mass non-violent protests urged Indians to boycott British institutions and goods.

=== Civil Disobedience Movement (1930–34) ===
Launched with the [[Salt March]], it expanded civil defiance against unjust laws.

=== Quit India Movement (1942) ===
A final push for full independence, this movement demanded an immediate end to British rule.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/event/Quit-India-Movement</ref>

== Revolutionary Activities ==
Parallel to non-violent efforts, revolutionaries like:
* [[Bhagat Singh]]
* [[Chandra Shekhar Azad]]
* [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] (INA – Indian National Army)

...used militant methods and inspired youth to fight colonial oppression.<ref>https://www.historytoday.com/archive/revolutionaries-indias-struggle-independence</ref>

== Role of Subhas Chandra Bose ==
Bose broke away from the INC and established the [[Azad Hind Fauj]], allying with Axis powers in World War II. Though controversial, his efforts significantly pressured the British.

== Partition and Independence ==
The movement ultimately led to the passing of the [[Indian Independence Act 1947]]. On 15 August 1947, India gained freedom, but the subcontinent was partitioned into:
* [[India]]
* [[Pakistan]]

The [[Partition of India]] resulted in large-scale violence and displacement.

== Legacy ==
The Indian Independence Movement inspired numerous global anti-colonial struggles. It promoted the ideals of:
* Non-violence (Ahimsa)
* Civil disobedience
* National unity

Its leaders, especially [[Mahatma Gandhi]], remain iconic figures worldwide.
