Modern Indian History

Hindi was adopted as the official language of the Central Government of India on September 14, 1950, after the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution of India.

Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of the Indian Civil Defence movement. He advocated for nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as a means to achieve independence from British rule.

The main objective of the Indian Civil Defence movement was to achieve independence from British rule. The movement sought to unite all Indians, regardless of their religion, caste, or creed, in the struggle for freedom.

The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, which took place in 1919, is considered to be the turning point of the Indian Civil Defence movement. The massacre, in which British troops killed hundreds of unarmed Indian civilians, led to widespread outrage and galvanized the Indian people to join the movement for independence.

India finally achieved independence from British rule on August 15, 1947. This day is celebrated as Independence Day in India.

All of the above Indian leaders were imprisoned during the Indian Civil Defence movement. Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned several times, including during the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Quit India Movement. Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose were also imprisoned during the Quit India Movement. Bhagat Singh was imprisoned and executed by the British authorities in 1931.

Subhash Chandra Bose escaped from prison during the Indian Civil Defence movement. In 1941, he escaped from house arrest in Calcutta and made his way to Germany, where he formed the Indian National Army (INA) to fight against the British.

Bhagat Singh was assassinated by the British authorities in 1931. He was hanged in Lahore Central Jail along with his fellow revolutionaries, Sukhdev Thapar and Shivaram Rajguru.
