Abstract: This article traces the evolution of the Indian freedom movement from early resistance to the achievement of independence in 1947. It examines how the struggle began with localized revolts, tribal uprisings, and peasant protests, and gradually developed into organized political movements led by leaders, reformers, and mass participation. The study highlights the role of both radical and nonviolent strategies, including revolutionary activities, the Swadeshi Movement, Gandhian satyagraha, and mass civil disobedience campaigns. It also explores the contributions of women, marginalized groups, and regional movements in shaping the national struggle. By reflecting on the successes, challenges, and strategies of the freedom movement, the article provides insights into the political, social, and cultural transformations that laid the foundation for modern India. The study demonstrates that the movement was not only a fight against foreign rule but also a journey toward social unity, justice, and nation-building.
Keywords: Indian Freedom Movement, Gandhi, Swadeshi, Mass Movements, Independence.
