Indian Freedom Movement

70 years. 70 years since India got its Independence.

We can only imagine how it must have felt like, after 89 years of the British Raj!

But imagine,

What if, the freedom struggle had taken place in the digital age? What if, our freedom fighters were verified on social media and had millions of followers? What if, the leaders roasted each other on social media? What if, we could all rise against the British by simply liking, sharing and following?

Wow.

So, let’s dive into a hypothetical universe, where it’s 2017 and the Indian Freedom Movement has only just begun...

This is what Mahatma Gandhi’s phone would look like:

Indian Freedom Movement MK Gandhi-Phone

 

And his Whatsapp messages to Jawaharlal Nehru:

Indian Freedom Movement JLN-WhatsApp

 

Movements and Campaigns would be managed on Whatsapp Groups:

YouTube would be flooded with revolution videos:

Instagram, with pictures of significant moments:

Meanwhile, Facebook and Twitter updates would look something like this:

Indian Freedom Movement Facebook Post-2

 

 

Indian Freedom Movement Twitter-Bose

 

Indian Freedom Movement Chacha Nehru

And the leaders of the world would be boasting on Snapchat:

Indian Freedom Movement Gandhiji - Snapchat

 

Indian Freedom Movement MA Jinnah - Snapchat

 

Since there are better ways to communicate, managing relationships would be easy:

Indian Freedom Movement Communication-Digital

 

And Indians could support the movement with contemporary khadi merchandise:
