Question

the resolution of Purna Swaraj was adopted 1929​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian National Congress (INC) party was founded in 1885, and in pre-independence India it grew to become one of the most powerful and prominent political parties. In 1885, the very first Indian National Congress session was held.

In the history of the Indian nationalist movement, January 26, 1930, was a red-letter day as the mass civil disobedience movement was initiated on that day. People made a vow to achieve Poorna Swaraj or full independence.

Significance of Purna Swaraj –

- Lahore hosted a session of the Indian National Congress in 1929, where Jawaharlal Nehru was president. On December 31, 1929, on the banks of the Ravi River, Nehru hoisted the tri-colour and demanded "Poorna Swaraj" or full self-rule, and January 26, 1930, was the date set for independence.

- The Poorna Swaraj resolution, or the Declaration of Independence, was passed by Congress on January 26, 1930. The day was then celebrated for the next 17 years as Poorna Swaraj day.

- As India became independent in 1947, the day set by the British was 15 August, selected to coincide with the second anniversary of the day after the Second World War, when Japanese forces surrendered to allied powers.

- Thus, on 26 November 1949, when the Constitution of India was adopted, many found it appropriate to celebrate the document on a day linked to national pride. The best choice was Poorna Swaraj Day, January 26. It has since been celebrated as Republic Day of the Country.

At its Lahore session, the Indian National Congress passed the historic 'Purna Swaraj' (total independence) resolution on 19 December 1929.
