Of these, the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, more prosaically known as the First War of Independence, holds a special place, even if it was ultimately put down; it marked the real beginning of both the countrywide resistance movement and the organized national movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Era_of_Nationalism\"><\/span><strong>The Era of Nationalism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cases of Indian nationalism were in the rush during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885.

Gandhi&#8217;s idea of &#8220;Satyagraha,&#8221; or nonviolent resistance, was the core of the independence movement. He inspired millions to fight for freedom through the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922), Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-1934), and Quit India Movement (1942).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Role_of_Other_Leaders_and_Movements\"><\/span><strong>The Role of Other Leaders and Movements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gandhiji was upholding the cause of nonviolence, other leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose came to the forefront.
