How we get Independence ?
The Freedom Struggle:
India is a country that is quite vast in size and population. It's not surprising that India became a British colony after the Battle of Plassey, which was fought on 23 June 1757.
The British rule lasted well over 200 years and during this time India was the world's largest and most valuable colony. The independence movement in India started with the first war of independence in 1857-1859 also known as "Indian Mutiny". This was one of many clashes between Indians and British troops that had been happening sporadically for decades but had never amounted to anything more than an annoyance for the ruling power. The last straw came when soldiers from the East India Company were going to be used in 1857 to help collect taxes from Indian peasants who were resisting by refusing to pay their taxes
