Independence, Democracy, and the Struggle for Self-Determination
How do peoples gain political freedom, and why do their outcomes differ? Explore India, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Nepal and Bangladesh. Examine independence, democracy, autonomy and self-determination through the roles of key women and men. Nepal was never formally colonized, and Tibet’s struggle has not produced an independent state.
