Explanation:

The hill states in India also participated in the freedom struggle (1914–1947) against the British colonial rule. Praja Mandal launched agitations against the British yoke in the areas which were under the direct British control. In other princely provinces agitations were launched for social and political reforms. However, these were directed more against the princes than against the colonial government.

The Pajhota agitation in which the people of Sirmour revolted is considered as an extension of the Quit India Movement of 1942.
