    BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
    Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
    Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
    British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

    Due to what reasons Britain was forced to leave India, this subject was discussed in detail with Attlee.
    I asked them directly that "The Quit India Movement started by Gandhiji in 1942 was losing its edge.
    There is no other reason in 1947 ?
    What was the reason that suddenly the British government decided to free India ?
    In response, Attlee gave many reasons, but the most important of them was the British in the Indian Army and the Navy ...
    Growing dissatisfaction with the government and breathlessness. The main reason for increasing this distrust was the Indian National Army of Subhas Chandra Bose.
    I asked Attlee at the end of the discussion how much influence Gandhiji had in the decision to liberate India ?
    After listening to this Attlee taunted softly and said '
    [ m - i - n - i - m - a - I ] .
    -: Justice PB Chakraborty(Chief Justice of Calcutta)

      its true that in the end gandhiji had minimal influence, but his effort was moral and aimed at the subconscious of people. When he started doing what he did, his aim was to bring justice to people his aim was never to overthrow the brits.

      Before WW2, britain wanted to give india independence. Germany contributed to the late independence of india. The british wanted troops and weapons to fight and given india's soldiers and weaponary, the indian army supported the brithish. Also, not confirmed if this is actually true, but the british empire thought that india will join the axis powers.
