Solution

Dear student,
The anti-colonial movement was an effort of the colonized to free themselves from colonial domination. The revolt of 1857 is regarded to be the first anti-colonial movement of India. Under the leadership of Bahadur Shah Zafar, several states of India took steps to fight for their rights and bring an end to the colonial domination of the British.
