The Road to Independence An epilogue of sorts

Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, Oh My! Hinduism (Hindus): the majority religion in India; followed by Gandhi and most members of Congress Islam (Muslims): the majority religion in present-day Pakistan; followed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and most members of the Muslim League Sikhism (Sikhs): the majority religion in the Punjab (a province in northwest India); concerned with protecting their political power and religious freedom

Some Key Terms Congress Party Formed 1885; Gandhi takes over in 1920 Primarily Hindu political party dedicated to independence Unified Indians across castes, backgrounds, and (sort of) religions in the name of independence Muslim League Formed 1906 Primarily Muslim political party aimed at advancing the interests of Muslims in British India Successfully advocated the partition of India and Pakistan into separate states

Two Conflicts British vs. Indians Political independence + repressive rule Economic independence Hindus vs. Muslims (and Sikhs) Muslims are a minority in British India, but heavily concentrated in a few areas Eventual demand: Pakistan as homeland for Muslims

A review of key events Amritsar Massacre, 1919 Salt Satyagraha, 1930 Britain enters WWII, 1939 India sends over 2 million volunteers Debate in India over whether to support British war effort Quit India Campaign,

The End of the Raj WWII ends in 1945; Britain is economically devastated July 1945: Labour Party wins elections in Britain Ongoing dispute between Congress and Muslim League over how independence should look Muhammad Ali Jinnah: calls for separate Muslim state 1947: India and Pakistan are established as separate, independent states
