Which goal was most important to the indian
nationalist movement?
(1) independence from british rule
(2) establishing a laissez-faire economy
(3) forming a totalitarian state
(4) expansion of territory

(1) independence from British rule

Explanation:

The independence of India consisted in revolutions that began in 1857 and that came to an end under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi between 1942 and 1947, as well as with the invasion of British India by the Indian National Army commanded by Subbash Chandra Bose during the Second World War. Independence was finally achieved on August 18, 1947.

"The Independence Movement" is quite diffuse, since it covers different movements with similar objectives. The main one was channeled through the National Congress Party, which followed Gandhi's preaching of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru also participated in the movement. Other leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose adopted a military position towards independence.

The independence of India served as a catalyst for similar movements in other parts of the world, which produced the disintegration of the British empire and its replacement by the Commonwealth. The non-violent movement of Gandhi was the inspiration of other movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa led by Nelson Mandela.
