Freedom Movement
How does an unarmed people push out an empire? India spent nearly a century answering that. This section follows the long fight for freedom — from the revolt of 1857 to the founding of the Congress in 1885, from Gandhi's Salt March to Bose's army marching in from the east. There were petitions and boycotts, hunger strikes and hangings, moderates and revolutionaries who rarely agreed on the method but shared the goal. Some names you'll know; many you won't. Read them together and you start to see freedom for what it really was: thousands of ordinary choices to refuse, made over decades.
