What kind of artwork will be on showcase in the gallery?
The newly opened gallery will highlight the role of Indian freedom fighters in the country’s war for independence. The museum will also provide a comprehensive overview of the numerous events that led up to the country’s independence in 1947.
The contribution of Indian Revolutionaries who took part in the liberation struggle against the British will also be on display at the Gallery. This gallery will also pay tribute to their armed resistance to colonial control.
This part of India’s independence fight is frequently overlooked in the dominant narratives that led to the country’s liberation from colonial rule. This new gallery will also illustrate the intellectual and political context that sparked the country’s independence movement.
The gallery will show the origin of the revolutionary movement, its growth across the country, the leaders’ associations with it, the founding of the Indian National Army, the Indian Naval Mutiny, and so on.
