Worked solution
Answer: The freedom struggle was fought by people belonging to different backgrounds, and they were inspired by the ideas of freedom, equality and participation in decision-making. The reason to fight for the freedom of the nation was to live in a country governed by leaders who were sensitive to people’s needs and demands and who could completely abolish the inequalities that existed under British rule. The dreams and aspirations of people to live a free and respectful life were based on the principle of Universal Adult Franchise, i.e., the right to vote.
