Explanation:
1) First war of Independence, 1857: This war had a deep and lasting impact on the Indian psyche. It sowed the seeds of nationalism, unity, and a desire for freedom from British rule.
2) Indian National Congress, 1885: The Congress was formed as a platform to air Indian grievances and demands. It played a pivotal role in mobilizing public opinion, organizing protests, and demanding political rights.
3) Swadeshi and Boycott Movement, 1905: This movement was triggered by the partition of Bengal by the British. It encouraged Indians to boycott British goods, use indigenous products, and promote Indian industries.
All three events collectively contributed to the rise of nationalism, unity, and the struggle for independence in India. Indian Independence in 1947 was the culmination of these efforts, a result of the growing resistance, demand for self-rule, and the desire to break free from colonial oppression.
