आंदोलन के भीतर विभिन्न धाराएँ
Class 10 Social Science explores how India’s national movement brought together groups with different experiences, demands and expectations. Students examine the participation of peasants, tribal communities, plantation workers, business groups, workers, women, Dalits and Muslims, and see why their involvement did not always follow the same path. The topic highlights both the strength of collective action and the social tensions and limits within nationalism in India.
