"On this day 75 years ago, after a long battle for self-government, Great
Britain finally withdrew from the subcontinent – allowing independence for
India and Pakistan.
Once described as the “jewel in the crown”, the British withdrawal from the
Indian empire was a reflection of the strength of the freedom movement, led by
Mohandas Gandhi and others, as well as Great Britain’s plummeted standing as a
power after the second world war.
As two countries part of the British empire, India and Australia had at least
that in common. So what did India’s independence mean for its relationship with
Australia?"
