7 freedom fighter
Shubash Chandra Bose

Netaji as he was called was a very prominent figure in the Indian freedom struggle. His sole aim was the freedom of his country and he termed it as a necessity and didn’t agree with Gandhiji on the terms that it can be negotiated. He was well educated and believed that there should be complete intolerance for caste-differentiation, racism or religious separation. His was so active in the Indian National Congress that he was arrested several times by the British Government. Soon he realised that international backing was a must for India’s freedom and hence started meeting leaders from Japan, Italy, and Germany who were against the British forces in the World War 2. He even met Mussolini and Hitler at different times. He was completely against the racism that The dictators propagated but he appreciated the discipline and unity of their men. It was on Hitler’s Suggestion that he went to Japan and formed the Indian National Army and started the Campaign ‘Challo Dilli’ which though failed, wasn’t enough to break his spirit. The Slogan ‘Jai Hind’ was also given by him which still prevails.
Bhagat Singh
A revolutionary who was brought up in the patriotic atmosphere, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, where Shaheed means ‘Martyr’, from a very young age all he ever dreamed was of seeing his country free. He met Rajguru and Sukhdev who shared his thoughts and together they fought several guerrilla wars fighting and revolting every British law that was against the civilians and also against the right of humanity. The Jallianwalla Baugh Massacre is one such example of the colonial inhumanity. He even blasted bombs inside the Assembly hall shouting slogans of ‘Inqualab Zindabad’( Independence Prevails) to revolt against two laws-“Trade Union Dispute Bill” and “Public Safety Bill”. All three were arrested and hanged to death. Their death, instead of silencing the people, actually acted as catalyst that ignited the fire within people as even while leaving all three

    On April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, India, a great tragedy occurred that day. The massacre that killed at least 379 people and the wounding of at least 1,200 others was committed by the British general Reginald Dyer (Cavendish). Many protests and riots preceded the massacre and resulting from them were the arrests of two leaders by the British ("Amritsar Massacre"). This caused many Indians to form mobs, which looted businesses and killed five British people (Cavendish). General Dyer was sent to Amritsar to restore order in there ("Amritsar Massacre"). What happened after he got there is why you, the Jury, are all in court today to decide General Dyer’s fate.…

    One view presented by the sources is that Indians did not like the British rule. The theme of hostility is presented in Source 11, where Gandhi writes in 1920 that the British are “evilly manned”, using strong words such as “dishonest” and “unscrupulous”, suggesting strong feelings of hostility towards British rule, as Gandhi feels as though the British are almost cheating the Indian people “with no regard to the wishes of the Indian people”, meaning the British are doing what they want without consulting the people they are ruling over. This source shows that the hostility felt by Indians was in fact widespread because it is written by Gandhi, a man who represented and was supported by a variety of people from all classes. This theme of hostility towards British is corroborated in Source 10 where the British are described as “irresponsible” and, like in Source 11, the Indians feel their “rights of human beings are being denied”, showing that the Indians again felt that the British were doing as they pleased without Indian voices being heard. However, as the source is written by Motilal Nehru, leader of the INC, it is difficult to say from this source that hostility was in fact widespread – Nehru only represents the INC which has the high caste community as a significant majority, and as it is written in 1919, we cannot be sure if the hostility was long-lasting as it is the same year as the massacre itself.…

    Mohandas Gandhi’s methods not only led to India’s independence from Britain but also had victories over racial discrimination in South Africa. Gandhi saw, upon his return to India from South Africa, that Britain had run India’s people into poverty and subordination. Indians were not allowed to manufacture or own their own salt. This affected the poor population most because of how often they used salt. Gandhi began by writing to the English Governor in India describing his plan to “convert the British people through nonviolence and [to] make them see the wrong they have done to India” (Document 1). He felt that the “British rule [was] a curse”. Even though Gandhi spent a total of 2.338 days in prison, he “did not feel the slightest hesitation in entering the prisoner’s box” (Doc. 7). People followed Gandhi in his protests and many followed him into jail feeling “firm in [their] resolution of passing [their] terms in jail in perfect happiness and peace” (Doc. 7). While he was in jail, Mme. Naidu, an Indian poetess, filled in his position in leading protests. She encouraged the protesters by reiterating that “[they] must not use any violence… [they would] be beaten but [they] must not resist…not even raise a hand to ward off blows” (Doc. 4). The author felt that “the western mind finds it difficult to grasp the idea of nonresistance”, but…

    These political compromises were the result of the work done by moderates of the Constitutional Convention who acted more out of practicality rather than ideology. They understood that the work they been completing would be futile if it the general public did not approve. Rather than allow the nationalists completely topple the minority party at the convention, men such as Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth pushed for compromise that would be satisfying to both small and large states. Forrest McDonald writes, “The practical maneuverings of such foederalists as Rutledge, Sherman, and Ellsworth helped transform the conceptions into reality.”…

    Mahatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist, and the man credited with liberating India from British rule led a campaign of non-violent, civil disobedience that made the continued stay in the country by the British colonizers politically and morally untenable. Imprisoned by the British for fomenting unrest, Gandhi confronted the colonizers’ force of arms with the power of his ideas, and the rightness of his cause, and by his act of courageous disobedience prevailed gloriously over the British in the end. Today, India is a vibrant democracy of 1.2 billion people, free because of the disobedience of one frail, unprepossessing man, Mahatma Gandhi.…

    “Breaking News! Indian citizen Mohandas Gandhi is organizing a protest to reduce British taxes on salt, 36 years after he made a compromise with the South African government about Indian suffrage. This was accomplished by what Gandhi and what other Hinduist followers consider satyagraha; or civil disobedience.” I switched the small, tattered, black and white TV off. I was amazed how one leader could bring down a strong government with a big military force, just with civil disobedience. Ever since I was born, we were controlled over British colonial rule. My parents were forced to work as peasants, because all the high-paying jobs were taken by whites. Because of inaccessibility to medical assistance, my mom died. My father was so stricken with…

    Bryant Huang, Mrs. Sjol, AP Lang, 1 March 2024, 2019 Rhetorical Analysis Rewrite. Before the outbreak of the Second World War in the mid-20th century, India had been subjected to nearly a century of colonial rule by Great Britain leading to the Salt March and eventual Indian independence in 1947. In 1930 Mohandas “Mahatma” Gandhi, an Indian lawyer often regarded as the father of his country, sent a handwritten letter to the representative of the British crown in India, Viceroy Lord Irwin, which aimed to end Indian oppression through nonviolent means. Through his use of charged language and repetition, Gandhi conveys his desire for peace and justice along with the Indian people’s resentment of British colonial rule and longing for independence.…

    Amritsar Massacre or “Jallianwala Bagh massacre’’, as it took place in on the 13th of April 1919 in Jallianwala Bagh garden in Amritsar, a city located in the north of India. General Reginald Edward Dyer had announced before 13 April that ‘’ any processions or gatherings of four men will be looked upon and treated as an unlawful assembly and dispersed by force of arms if necessary’’ (Cavendish, R., 2009). In the enclosed compound were about 5000 to 20 000 Indians according to different sources(Bose, P., & Lyons, L.,1999) They were in fact protesting peacefully against the “Rowlatt act” concerning the right of appeal for the people involved in seditious activities. Dyer placed the military vehicles in front of the only door of the garden and ordered the shooting of all the unarmed civilians. The shooting lasted until the British armed men ran out of ammunition. In fact, the military used approximately 1650 rounds of ammunition, killing 379 civilians and wounding 1136 others (Bose, P., & Lyons, L., 1999). The Amritsar Massacre is considered as a major turning point that led the British government to consider the possible independence of the Indian State as the massacre became source of controversies between the British officials and the Indian nationalists. All sources state clearly that the British government condemned the massacre and qualified it as ‘’unbritish’’. Churchill declared that the massacre was 'an extraordinary event, a monstrous event, an event which stands in singular and sinister isolation'. Dyer, standing before the commission charged of investigating the massacre, declared that he acted according to the rule of law, by engaging more precisely the ‘’minimum force’’ policy of public-order (Doyle, 2011). Subsequently, he also justified his action by the fact that the Indian nationals were defying the British authorities, and his action…

    The cruel treatment and salt monopoly inspired Gandhi to unify the people in “campaign of satyagraha, or mass civil disobedience.” Salt is a vital part of Indian diet recognized when the Salt Acts were enacted which put a “monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt”. [1] Gandhi led nonviolent demonstrations as the people defied British policy by making salt from seawater. The British would soon respond by brutally beating the peaceful demonstrators bringing international outrage. By August 1947, Britain caved in to the pressure granting India its independence. Gandhi’s civil disobedience movement influenced India by putting it on the path to become the country we know today.[2] Detractors will say that the ends doesn’t justify the means. They claim that civil disobedience will set a standard for illegality and contempt for the law that others will follow. An example used occurred in 1999 in London where the ‘Carnival against Capitalism’ took place. What started as peaceful protest against economic policy devolved into “self-indulgent violence and destruction of property in the city, achieving nothing but notoriety for its cause.”[3] On the other hand if the law itself is unjust then the people should disobey in order to bring about the greater good not just for themselves but for future…

He used his moral outrage guided by reason to effect change in the cultural norms of India and ultimately helped India gain independence in 1947. Gandhi’s efforts have greatly impacted social and political reform, and have influenced later civil rights movements.…
