Just my two cents, difference between India’s and China’s independence movement is that in case if India, power was handed over by imperialists(there’s a saying here called Gora Raj to Bhura Raj, roughly translated to White rulers to Brown rulers) while China snatched the power. India’s independence movement was ofcourse very brutal but the power was still kept by bourgeoisie liberal government.

And tbh, history and political science in high school is completely devoid of any actual political theory, and barely touching anything outside country’s history, very minimal topics regarding ww1 and ww2.
