Homework: Assignment Summary and Rationale: As we have seen in Africa and now in India, many of the leaders of the independence movements were arrested and viewed as criminals by their colonizers, yet later when freed became the first presidents or prime ministers of their countries.

For the Wanted Poster, you will be representing---
