Is India still under British rule?
India is a republic;a nationwide struggle for independence was launched by the Indian National Congress and other political organizations. Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi led millions of people in national campaigns of non-violent civil disobedience. On August 15, 1947, India gained independence from British rule. On January 20, 1950, India became a republic and a new constitution came into effect. India was once an independent monarchy,separate from the UK,and has regained its independence.But it does share some governmental styles;India considers itself a bicameral parliament operating under a Westminster-style parliamentary system. Changes are still taking place in the style of government,though.India has grown increasingly federal since the late 1990s as a result of political, economic and social changes.
