The 1929 Session of Indian National Congress is of significance in the history of the Freedom Movement because the
A
attainment of Self-Government was declared as the objective of the Congress
B
attainment of Poorna Swaraj was adopted as the goal of the Congress
Correct Answer
C
Non-Cooperation Movement was launched
D
decision to participate in the Round Table Conference in London was taken
Explanation
The 1929 Lahore Session, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, is significant because it officially adopted the resolution for 'Poorna Swaraj' (Complete Independence) as the ultimate goal of the Indian National Congress. While 'Self-Government' (Option A) was an objective discussed as early as the 1906 session, the 1929 session marked a decisive shift from demanding Dominion Status to total sovereignty. This question tests the core concept of the evolution of the Congress’s political objectives and the transition of the nationalist movement toward radical independence.
