Indian National Congress 1905-1920 Overview

The document summarizes the key events and developments in the Indian independence movement between 1905 and 1920. This included the Partition of Bengal in 1905 which sparked protests and the Swadeshi movement. Tensions grew between moderates and extremists in the Indian National Congress, while the Muslim League was formed to advocate for separate electorates for Muslims. Gandhi launched the Non-Cooperation Movement after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 and the Rowlatt Acts, which gave the government broad powers to arrest without trial.
