Colonial Rule And The Nationalist Challenge In India, 1919-47
Overzicht
In April 1919 a British general ordered troops to fire on an unarmed crowd penned inside a walled garden in Amritsar. In August 1947 the British left India altogether, and the subcontinent was cut in two amid one of the largest and most violent movements of people in modern history. The twenty-eight years between those events are the subject of this depth study.
You will trace how Indian nationalists built a mass movement, how Gandhi's method of non-violent resistance worked and where it stalled, how the demand for a separate Muslim state grew from a minority position into an immovable one, and how the Second World War made British rule unaffordable. Throughout, the people making the choices are Indian, not merely reacting to decisions made in London.
