Nationalism in India

Question:

Why growth of nationalism in the colonies is linked to an anti-colonial movement.

Answer:

The growth of modern nationalism is intimately connected to the anti-colonial movement in India, just like in any other country. In the process of their struggle with colonialism people began discovering their unity. All though each class or group of people felt that they were being oppressed under colonialism, the effects of colonialism were felt differently.
