About British India and Indian Independence
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources follow British rule in India from the East India Company to the end of the Raj. Early material includes the mind map Company Rule (1773-1858), which starts with the Regulating Act 1773, plus Causes of 1857 Revolt and the flowchart 1857 rebellion in a nutshell.
Later maps cover the moderate phase 1885-1905, the Partition of Bengal 1905, the Morley-Minto Reforms/Indian Councils Act 1909 and the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms 1919. Others follow the Rowlatt Acts, the Amritsar Massacre, the Khilafat movement, the Salt March, the Cripps Mission, the Cabinet Mission and the 1947 Independance Act.
Where to start
If you want a quick overview, begin with the notes India: road to independence and the mind map British Rule in India. Then work through events in date order. The mind map 1937 Elections/Lahore Resolution 1940 is a good point to see how Congress power grew after the 1935 Act.
Exam students will find flashcard decks such as Edexcel AS History: Indian Search For Independence - 1914-48 and Edexcel History: Indian Search For Independence 1914-48. Some resources also mention A-level History, GCSE History, NCERT and UPSC.
Using maps and quizzes together
- Read a mind map on one event, such as Quit India Movement 1942.
- Cover it up and take a related quiz, for example The Calcutta Killings or Edexcel AS India 1857-1943.
- Note what you missed and go through the matching flashcards, such as Mountbatten or Menon Plan.
- Repeat with the quizzes called Dates Quiz and Key people to fix names and years.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand Revolutions, Industry and Empire (1750-1914) within History. Most resources are written at secondary level, so they suit school students and the teachers who plan their lessons.
Choose one event that you find hard, open its map, and see how far a quiz takes you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
For a broad view, open the notes India: road to independence or the mind map British Rule in India. Both give the outline before you move to single events. After that, follow the timeline through the mind maps, from the moderate phase 1885-1905 to the 1947 Independance Act.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 370 of them. They take in Company Rule, the causes of the 1857 revolt, the Partition of Bengal, the Morley-Minto and Montagu-Chelmsford reforms, the Rowlatt Acts, Amritsar, the Salt March, Quit India, the Cabinet Mission and the factors causing Partition.
Are there resources for exam courses?
Yes. Flashcard decks are titled for Edexcel AS History and Edexcel History, and the quiz Edexcel AS India 1857-1943 is listed too. Other resources mention A-level History, GCSE History, NCERT and UPSC. Check each resource against your own course before relying on it.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing a few on the same topic.
Can I make my own material?
Yes. A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you build your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. Many students start by copying the structure of a listed map, such as the one on the Cripps Mission, and then rewrite it in their own words.
What if my topic is missing?
Try a related title first. For example, Lord Wavell (Viceroy), Post War 1945-1947 and Situation at the end of WWII all touch on the final years. If you still find a gap, make your own map or flashcards and fill it yourself.
