Write about the anti-colonial movement in Kenya compare and
contrast India's national movement with the in which Kenya became
independent

P. Sujatha · Accepted Answer

1) Nationalism in India was purely based on non – violence
efforts and principles of Mahatma Gandhi who advocated mass
movements through non – cooperation, civil disobedience,
boycott, hartals, etc

2) But, Kenyan situation was entirely different as the Mau Mau
movement of Kenya was a murderous bunch of thugs As the fight for
freedom grew, the Kikuyu formed secret societies which united with
one objective, to break British rule

3) These societies encouraged oath taking ceremonies which bound
the participants to wage war against Europeans and any Africans who
were thought to be collaborators

4) Thus, Kikuyu dominated Mau Mau organisation was formed and
Kenya’s struggle was a ‘war of liberation’ and
moreover it is a terrorist campaign run by Mau Mau

5) In Kenya, the Mau Mau went over for a long period of time, and
British were forced to take extreme steps like identification of
accused and conducting secret trials, suspension of civil rights,
etc
