Year 1929s Lahore session has been significant in many ways. I try to sum up as follows:
a)The leftist Congress was never in good terms with the Indian nationalists like Subhash Chandra Bose and others who had always been demanding complete independence from the British but Gandhi-Nehru duo seemed to be happy with the British arrangement of giving India a Dominion status within the British empire. Gandhi had even rejected Bhagat Singh’s idea of TOTAL INDEPENDENCE from the British.
b) After 1919’s Jalianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar, Indians became violent and started targeting the British and Europeans. Gandhi took it seriously and against his non-violence norms.
c) In 1928, after the brutal killing of Lala Lajpat Rai by the British in a protest against the Simon Commission, an All India Commission was appointed by the Congress Party under the presidentship of Moti Lal Nehru who agreed to accept the British formula of a part independence to India i.e. the dominion status under the British empire. Nehru prepared a report on this acceptance.
d) But in the Lahore session, Nehru’s this report was rejected by all other participants. Md Ali Jinnah and his Muslim League had influenced India’s movement for independence for obvious reasons.
e) Before 1929’s Lahore session, Congress had never raised the issue of Complete Independence from the British except in 1921 by All India Congress Forum leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Arbindo. However, this mistake was rectified here and the demand for Complete Independence was raised.
f) At this session, it was also decided that all the Congressmen in India would take oath of independence on 31 Dec 1929 midnight as well as to celebrate independence day on 26 January 1930 to keep Indian masses attached to the movement of independence.
It wont be wrong to say that this session in Lahore on 19 Dec 1929 was the first serious effort by the Congress towards getting Complete Independence from the British. However, a number of freedom fighting pressure groups were behind it and had compelled the Congress to do so.
