The section discusses how modern nationalism in India developed in conjunction with the anti-colonial struggle against British rule. It highlights the formation of a national identity among diverse social groups, the impact of Gandhi's leadership in unifying these groups, and the ongoing conflicts that arose within the national movement.
Modern nationalism in Europe redefined identities and communities with new symbols and ideas. This emergence of a national identity in India was deeply intertwined with the anti-colonial movement. The shared experience of oppression under colonialism allowed diverse social groups to forge bonds, although their experiences and visions for freedom varied significantly. The Indian National Congress, particularly under Mahatma Gandhi's leadership, attempted to unite these disparate groups into a cohesive movement, though not without internal conflicts.
In this chapter, we will delve into the events following the 1920s, focusing on the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience Movements, examining the roles of various social groups and the overall implications of nationalism during this pivotal period in Indian history.
