Question

Operation rubicon adopted by the british government in india

Answer 1

The British were aware of Gandhiji's popularity and wanted to stop him from attending the Round Table Conference.

They planned several ways in the form of a full fledged scheme known as 'Operation Rubicon'. After the signing of Gandhi- Irwin pact, few British officials were worried that Gandhiji would talk about India’s freedom.

Answer 2

Operation Rubicon is actually a code word adopted by the British before India’s independence.

Gandhiji was getting popular with each passing day. It was a headache which British had to deal with.

The British wanted to prevent Gandhiji from active participation in general affairs. The Code word Rubicon was given to prevent Gandhiji from meeting Irwin that actually led to the signing of pact.
