History: Tryst with Destiny – the Path to Independence in India With Dr Erica Wald From Goldsmiths, University of London

17th November 2021 @ 14:15 - 15:15

 

 

As part of Goldsmiths’ incisive Autumn History Series, Dr Erica Wald presents ‘Tryst with Destiny: the Path to Independence in India’.

On 15 August 1947, India and Pakistan achieved their independence from Britain, ending nearly 200 years of British rule on the Subcontinent. Independence, with partition, was the result of many years of hard-fought struggles and came at enormous cost to both newly independent countries.

This webinar examines the rise of Indian nationalism, tracing its trajectory from an elite-led group to a mass movement. It considers the global political and economic factors which shaped both nationalist demands and British response.
