So Early!

During World War 1 in 1915 started The Home Rule movement in India led by Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Based on the Home Rule Leagues of Ireland, this was more effective than the Ghadar Revolution and was the Extremist answer to the British. This movement however failed at its peak popularity in 1918. Next came the Rowlatt Satyagraha and the Non-Cooperation movement led by Gandhiji but the connections and communication lines these used were laid by the Home Rule movement. This timeline takes a look at the "What if the Home Rule movement had lived longer?". This timeline is heavily guided by the book 'India's Struggle for Independence' by Bipan Chandra.

The time from 1914 to 1919 will form the introductory part of this timeline and will be on the main page. This also consists of the major PODs and these will be highlighted in bold.
