Detailed explanation-1: -Independent countries and states are not ruled by other countries but have their own government.
Detailed explanation-2: -Being an independent country means that no foreign power maintains any authority or control over the political or civil processes of its government or people. Another word for this type of state independence is sovereignty, or the right of a nation to chart its own future through self-determination.
Detailed explanation-3: -Years of nonviolent resistance to British rule, led by Mohandas GANDHI and Jawaharlal NEHRU, eventually resulted in Indian independence in 1947.
Detailed explanation-4: -No matter how wealthy and prosperous a nation is, if it is deprived of its independence it no longer deserves to be regarded otherwise than as a slave in the eyes of civilized world. To accept the protectorate of a foreign power is to admit to a lack of all human qualities, to weakness and incapacity.
