1947



Hi ! Do you like history ? Then you may like this article. I am going to talk about 1947. Before 1947, India was a British colony, it became independent on August 15th. Even if it was independent, the union of India was still under British authority (Lord Mountbatten, viceroy of the Indian British Empire and first general of the Union of India) till January 26th, 1950, when India became a Republic and proclaimed its constitution. When you say Indian independence I think about three important leaders: Mahatma Gandhi, the ideological leader, Jawaharlal Nehru the political leader and Subash Chandra Bose, the military leader. Gandhi came to India, in 1915, to fight for Indians. Gandhi was self sufficient and he followed ahimsa, the avoidance of violence, that's why his revolts weren't violent and he didn't use any weapons. Nehru was part of the Congress party and became Prime Minister on August 15th, 1947. Subash Chandra Bose was the leader of the Indian National Army, like Gandhi he undertook revolts, but they were more violent. Indian Republic is quite young but still it has come a long way and keeps growing day by day. Thank you, comments are appreciated.

  3. Ismail,
    Especially, I like one thing, is you mentioned a warrior which has been forgotten by the Indian People, Subash Chandra Bose. He has the same rights on the Independence of India as Gandhi! If we did not have one of the two as well, we will not have the independence! So we have to respect the both!
