3. WHY and HOW ?
(The Nationalist Movement)
British presence increased the feeling of
nationalism in India. Indians began to realise they
had more in common with each other than they
had with foreigners. They began to unite in
opposition to British rule.
Some of the Indian criticisms on British Raj were:
• harsh/violent rule unwillingness to give Indians more say in
government
• economic exploitation by the British government for the
people of India
