Historical Context: Our journey begins in 1885 with the founding of the Indian National Congress, which initially focused on seeking administrative reforms rather than independence from British rule. Discover how the Congress evolved over the decades, and how the British strategy of "divide and rule" played a crucial role in shaping the political climate. British Colonial Policies: Learn about the British colonial strategy of exploiting religious and cultural divisions to maintain control over the diverse Indian subcontinent. We discuss the 1905 partition of Bengal, a tactical move by the British to weaken nationalist movements by dividing Hindus and Muslims. Emergence of Muslim Identity Politics: The video explores the rise of the Muslim League, founded in 1906, which sought to address the concerns of Muslims who felt increasingly marginalized. We examine how the League’s demands for a separate Muslim state gained momentum over the years, especially in response to perceived Hindu dominance within the Congress Party.
