Modern Indian history is traced back to the mid-18th century, when the Mughal Empire was declining,
leading to the rise of British colonial rule.
Throughout this period,
key events such as the 1857 Revolt and the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885 were witnessed,
with the independence movement being led by prominent figures like Mahatma Gandhi.
Eventually, in 1947, independence was achieved, and this was followed by the partition,
resulting in the creation of India and Pakistan.
