Description

Republic is not defined by what we see, history decides that how countries are shaped. As India is approaching its 77th Independence day, we thought why not to jump and tell people the story of India.

So we launched a series of episodes, discussing decade wise the events that shaped India.

In this episode we discuss the era of 1940s. As we cannot discuss all the incidents, so in this episode of this series we focus on major events:
26 January, 1930
Independence Day, 1947

Partition

Integration of Princely states

Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi
