Question

Talk to your grandparents or elderly family members and find out what they remember or heard about India’s freedom struggle. Note which leaders or methods people supported. Discuss in class how, despite sharing the same goal of freedom, people followed different paths.

Answer 1

This is an oral history activity. Students should interview elderly family members to understand their personal memories or stories about the freedom struggle. They can note the leaders and methods people supported. The discussion should highlight that despite different approaches (e.g., non-violence vs. revolutionary actions), all were united by the common goal of freedom.
