There were many factors that made it increasingly difficult for them to continue to rule India. When one thinks about it dispassionately, one realises that British were no saints who would somehow be shamed by “non violent” movements and would grant independence to India out of shame. Since history is written by “victors” and somehow Mahatma Gandhi’s non violent movie has been credited as the reason for India gaining independence so Indian freedom struggle has been penned accordingly. And his philosophy of gaining independence for India was different from that of Mahatma Gandhi. We have seen that Subhash Chandra Bose had a tremendous following. There were followers of Mahatma Gandhi, but then there were followers of other leaders as well. It could be seen that the country, like now, had people with different ideologies and people followed their own ideologies. We now have access to other sources as well as so we can form our own opinion on what was happening those days. Many decades on, when we can gain information from sources other than test books published by the government or gooverment approved publishers, we can have a more holistic picture of things as they unfolded. Then we were told that British were defeated by the non violent movement of Gandhi and they gave India independence, but at the last moment, they played a dirty trick and divided the country into two. There was passing mention of Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose etc as well. In freedom struggle, we basically read that non violent movement by Mahatma Gandhi earned India their freedom. In British era, we had discussion on freedom struggle. A few chapters later, we were into Mughal era (Akbar, Shahjahaan etc, and then British Era.

Third chapter was Mauryavansh (Chandragupta Maurya, Samrat Ashok etc. For instance, first chapter was Ramayana. When I think about it now, I realise that History text book basically used to be like a collections of a few chapters and each chapter was like a story of a particular era. These were “arts” subjects and were considered low scoring as well. When I was in school, we had some “boring” subjects like, History, Geography, Social Science etc. If this article appears in sites like and etc then it is piracy of the copyright content of and is a punishable offence under the existing laws.
