1941 in India

In 1941, India was a significant focal point in the context of World War II and the struggle for independence from British colonial rule. The year witnessed an intensification of nationalist movements, as leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose sought to mobilize popular support against British authority. The Indian National Congress and the All India Congress Committee advocated for the Quit India Movement, demanding an end to British rule. Furthermore, the impact of the war led to economic strain, exacerbating food shortages and famine, particularly in regions like Bengal. The evolving geopolitical landscape, alongside the emergence of regional political parties, contributed to heightened social and political tensions across the subcontinent.
