Question

How was the growth of modern nationalism intimately connected to the anti-colonial movement in India ? Explain giving

suitable examples.

Answer 1

Colonisation affected people’s freedom, and nationalist sentiments surged during the process of struggle against imperial domination. The sense of oppression and exploitation became a common bond for people from different walks of life, and this resulted in the growth of nationalist ideals. Thus, growth of nationalism in the colonies is linked to anti-colonial movements.
