how did india gain its independence in 1947 from the britishers?

Question

please do tell me the correct information it is very important 4 me

Answer 1

I've got another question.

Why would anyone use the word 'Britisher' and expect to be taken seriously?

Ghandi once said.....An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind!
But now he's dead and India has nuclear weapons and a penchant for Americanized Capitalism. Plus he wore sandals...never a good sign in a Grown man!

The truth is, Great Britain GAVE INDIA BACK!!!. It became highly unfashionable to OWN COUNTRIES after WW2! Put that in your Essay, and slap the teacher if you don't get an A+ 'cos he'll be wrong if he disagrees. Teachers aren't always right...like most ppl who tried to answer this question for you.

Answer 2

The British Empire had more or less fallen apart at the start of WW2. They held onto a few select colonies (renamed "dependent territories" later on), but for the most part, reconstruction of the parts of England damaged in the war, as well as Europe, took precedent and India was let go. Indian nationalism had really been sparked at the beginning of the century, but was multiplied even more so when the Japanese attempted to raise and army in India to resist the British. That failed, but there were still remnants of nationalism after the War. Besides, the population was swelling to the point that the British wouldn't be able to control India anymore, let alone Pakistan, so through Ghandi they took the most graceful way out.

Answer 3

There was an initial Indian Rebellion in 1857 by native members of the Army. After it was quelled, the British carved the state up into British India and the Princely States, trying to divide and conquer. They did encourage education among the elite classes, but it worked against them as all Indians of whatever class became tired of British rule. In the early part of the 20th century, Mohandas Gandhi lead a political and popular movement of non-violent civil disobedience to convince the British that a unified India would never co-operate with occupation. Concurrently, Subhash Chandra Bose raised the 1st Indian National Army to resist Bristish imperialism. Uprisings across the country, and Gandhi voice in the conscience of Britian finally lead to the end of the British Raj at 12 am. Aug. 15, 1947.

Answer 4

The answer is civil disobedience and Gandhi and Jinnah.

Gandhi began his first civil disobedience campaign in1920 (extra constitutional but nonviolent methods of struggle). That ended in 1922 with violence. More campaigns occurred under his leadership throughout the 30s. Britain then allowed some semblence of democracy and local rule at the provincial level. In 1939 the Congress party withdrew from its positions in the provinces in protest when Britain declared India a party to the Second World War. In August 1942 Gandhi launched the "Quit India" civil disobedience movement. Thousands of the movement including Gandhi and Nehru were arrested. The Muslim League however (under Jinnah) cooperated with the British in this period in the hope of separate states in Muslim majority areas. Following the end of the War, nationalism upsurged and the British Labour government prepared for independence on the sub continent. In February 1947 the British governmnet announced that it would withdraw by June 1948 and appointed Lord Louis Mountbatten as Governor-General to oversee the process. The Congress party reluctantly agreed to partition into India and Pakistan with Punjab and Bengal province partitioned between Muslim and Hindu majority areas. Nehru became Prime Minister of independent India on 15 August 1947.

Answer 5

Hurt them where it hurts the most. We stopped buying their stuff. We started manufacturing our own. Stopped paying tax on salt.
AND finally, Gandhi was a very powerful and world famous personality. He could move the whole nation with him. The British were afraid of the idea of tackling close to a billion people (Not sure what the population was at that time). Imagine hundreds of millions going on indefinite hunger strike unto death. They quit. India has always been attacked since the begining of history. Muslims, turks, Greeks, Portugese, English, French, Mongols, Afghans, Chinese, Pakis you name it. Yet India remains a country that has never attacked another country since it's formation 10K years ago. Neither has anyone been able to rule India for long. It is always the Indian people who will ever rule India. All 1.2 Billion of 'em.

Answer 7

We INDIANS dint get freedom from british but we made them to quit the INDIA. INDIA is ours yesterday, today and always. IF some good thing could be done an human right enquiry commission should be established to find out the human right violation done by british in Indian soil.

Answer 8

Acombination of lot of historical social political economic cultural international realities and the interplay of diverse forces interests particularly Gandhi's magnetic leadership coupled with the impacts of English education generated an un conquerable will to win and Indians for once put their whole trust with a firm faith in a cause making sure that they do have the strength to beat the enemy and could endure the toils and pangs of struggle to redeem the honour of bharat.

Answer 9

Thanks to the Irish....they set the stage for withdrawal!


The Connaught Rangers were a regiment of the British Army comprosed mostly of Irish. The Irish refused to fight for the British in India any more when they discovered how the Brits were treating the Irish/their families when they were away. Non-stop atrocoties!So there was a mutiny.
"We fought your every bloody war and we'll fight your wars no-more" Jim Daly


Take it from here Wikipedia
[edit] Mutiny in India, 1920
When news of the Anglo-Irish War, especially of the behaviour of the Black and Tans and the Auxiliary Division (paramilitary reinforcements of the Royal Irish Constabulary from England), reached the veterans of the 1st Btn at Jalandhar, India, the mutiny began. On 28 June 1920, five men from C Company refused to take orders from their officers, declaring their intent not to serve the King until the British forces left Ireland. The Union Jack at Jullundur, on the North-West Frontier, was replaced by the flag of the Irish Republic.


Within three days, the mutiny was ended and the mutineers taken to prison camp at Dagshai. At Solan, rumours began in the Rangers detachment there that the prisoners had been executed. Under the command of Private James Daly, about 70 Rangers joined the mutiny and attacked the armoury. The guard successfully defended it: Privates Sears and Smyth were shot dead while other mutineers were taken prisoner. In all, about 400 men had joined the mutiny, of whom eighty-eight were court martialled. Fourteen men were sentenced to death and the rest given up to 15 years in gaol, other than a few who were acquitted. Thirteen of the men sentenced to die had their sentences commuted to life imprisonment. The defendants were apparently unaware that they could have had a defence counsel [citation needed]. A historical account of the Mutiny can be found in 'Mutiny for the Cause', Sam Pollock, Lee Cooper, London, 1969.

21-year-old Daly was shot by a firing squad in Dagshai prison on November 2, 1920, and was therefore the last member of British Forces to be executed for mutiny. Pte Sears and Pte Smyth were buried at Solan; Daly and John Miranda (who died in prison) were buried at the Dagshai graveyard (until 1970, see below). Jim Daly was eventually awarded the Victory & General Service Medals for his active service in WW1.

Answer 10

The Indian recruits in the British army were all what we call "Vegetarian" (i'm serious). When they were compelled to use pig meat in the guns to pull out with their mouths...they refused....THus started the Revolt of 1947!!!
