The main focus of the Indian independence movement led by Gandhi was the non-violent struggle against British colonial rule. Gandhi advocated for civil disobedience, peaceful protests, and non-cooperation as effective means to resist oppression and seek self-governance. His philosophy emphasized the importance of truth (Satyagraha) and non-violence (Ahimsa). The movement sought to unite diverse Indian communities, addressing economic grievances and promoting Indian self-reliance through initiatives like the Swadeshi Movement, which encouraged boycotting British goods. Gandhi's leadership and ideals significantly mobilized the Indian populace and ultimately contributed to India gaining independence in 1947.
