          The Indian Independence movement was a series of history events with the ultimate aim of ending the British rule in India. The movement spanned from 1857 to 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian Independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed fundamental rights to appear for Indian civil services examination in British India, as well as more rights (economical in nature) for the people of the soil. The early part of the 20^th century saw a more radical approach towards political self rule proposed by leaders such as Lal Bal Pal  Trium Virate, Aurobindo Ghosh and V.O. Chidambaram Pillai.

          The last stages of self-rule struggle from the 1920’s was characterized by congress adoption of Mahatma Gandhi’s policy of non-violence and Civil disobedience, and several other campaigns.
