Resistance to British policies from "summary" of India's Struggle for Independence by Bipan Chandra,Mridula Mukherjee,Aditya Mukherjee,K N Panikkar,Sucheta Mahajan
The resistance to British policies in India was a crucial aspect of the struggle for independence. This resistance was not a sudden outburst but rather a gradual process that evolved over time. It was a response to the oppressive and exploitative policies of the British colonial rulers. One form of resistance was the non-cooperation movement, which aimed to boycott British goods, institutions, and symbols of authority. This movement gained momentum as people began to realize the power of collective action. The idea was to make the British feel the impact of Indian unity and solidarity. Another form of resistance was the civil disobedience movement, which involved breaking unjust laws and regulations imposed by the British. This movement was led by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, who believed in the power of nonviolent protest as a means to challenge colonial authority. The Salt Satyagraha was a significant event in the civil disobedience movement. It involved the illegal production of salt in protest against the British salt tax. This act of defiance captured the imagination of the Indian masses and brought the issue of colonial exploitation to the forefront. The Quit India movement was another powerful expression of resistance to British policies. It called for the immediate withdrawal of the British from India and demanded full independence. This movement was met with harsh repression from the colonial authorities, but it showed the determination of the Indian people to fight for their rights.- The resistance to British policies was a defining feature of the struggle for independence in India. It was a testament to the courage and resilience of the Indian people in the face of colonial oppression. Through various forms of protest and resistance, they challenged the authority of the British and ultimately paved the way for India's freedom.
