The lesson, led by a BYJU'S educator, outlines the historical underpinnings and development of nationalist movements in India, particularly focusing on the Gandhian movements of non-cooperation and civil disobedience. With the backdrop of World War I affecting India economically and socially, the rise of Mahatma Gandhi as a leader introduces the concept of Satyagraha, leading to significant movements against British rule.

The session on Nationalism in India focuses on imparting key historical insights to Class 10 students, highlighting the impact of World War I on India and the emergence of Gandhian principles. Gandhi's arrival from South Africa with the notion of Satyagraha marked the beginning of a structured resistance. The discussion emphasizes the regional and national impact of Gandhi's first Satyagrahas and the unifying Rowlatt Satyagraha, ultimately leading to nationwide resistance.
Moving deeper into the chapter, the lesson explores various people's movements within the quilt of Indian nationalism. As Gandhi's plans unfolded, movements like the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience were discussed, addressing their motivations, regional influences, and impacts.

Finally, the lecture weaves in the concept of collective belonging, discussing how historical reinterpretations, symbolism, and folk culture contributed to a sense of shared national identity. The role of different demographics within the national movement is highlighted, with special attention on the challenges they faced and their legacy in the broad spectrum of India's independence movement. The session combines in-depth historical narrative with strategic exam preparation.
