1915 in India

In 1915, India was under British colonial rule, a period marked by significant political and social developments. The year witnessed the beginning of the national movement gaining traction as nationalist leaders, influenced by global events such as World War I, sought greater autonomy and political rights. The return of key figures, notably Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa, marked a pivotal moment, fostering increased activism against colonial policies. The socio-economic impacts of the war, including rising prices and food shortages, further fueled public discontent. Additionally, the year saw the establishment of several organizations aimed at promoting Indian rights, laying the groundwork for future independence efforts and reshaping the political landscape of the subcontinent.
