About The BooK: India's demand for autonomy within the British Empire, particularly during the early 20th century, was driven by the desire for greater self-governance and independence from British colonial rule. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru sought reforms that would allow Indians to have control over their internal affairs while still remaining part of the Empire. This demand aimed to balance political participation, economic control, and cultural respect, with the ultimate goal of achieving full independence. The autonomy movement became a central feature of India's struggle for freedom, culminating in eventual independence in 1947.
