Practice and Revision - Other Strands in the National Movement

Core concept

Revolutionary nationalists, like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad, believed in more direct, sometimes violent, action against British rule.

How it works

Subhas Chandra Bose, disagreeing with Gandhi's methods, formed the Indian National Army (INA) to fight for independence through armed struggle.

Why it matters

The Indian National Army, with support from Japan during World War II, aimed to liberate India through military means, though ultimately unsuccessful militarily.

Key detail

These alternative strands show that India's independence movement involved diverse approaches and ideologies working toward the common goal of freedom.
