Answer 2

The given statement is False. The Indian national congress cooperated with the British during the first world war.

• The Indian National Congress backed the British in WWI because its leaders thought that as a result of their efforts, India would be granted the status of a self-governing dominion under the British throne.
• When Britain was in war with Germany in 1939, it also declared war on India. This statement was made without consulting Indian lawmakers who were elected under the 1935 Government of India Act.
• All of the Congress politicians resigned in protest, stating that they would not support the war effort until India was granted full independence after the war.
• Because Britain refused to accept this requirement, members of Congress, notably Gandhi and Nehru, staged unlawful protests.
• Following the collapse of discussions with the British in 1942, they grew more common. The Congress leaders were arrested and imprisoned as a result of the "Quit India" campaign.
