For the Independence of India, I suggest look the following points.
1. The establishment of the British East India Company and the seize of the kingdoms under Robert Clive ( emphasis on the Battle of Plassey in 1757)
2. The First War of Independence (1857)
3. Rise of Nationalism in India (emphasis on Raja Rammohan Ray, Syed Ahmed Khan, etc)
4. Formation of Congress, its subsequent struggles
5. Assertive Nationalism (emphasis on efforts of Tilak, Bipin Chandra and Lajput Ray), Partition of Bengal (1905)
6. Lucknow Pact, Home Rule Movement
7. Gandhiji's struggle (Non-Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience, Quit India )
8. Leadership of Subhash Chandra Bose
9. Partition and Independence of India.
