Question

what was the reason for forming Swaraj party? why did untouchables not moved by the abstract concept of Swaraj ?

Answer 1

The Swaraj Party or the Congress-Khilafat Swarajya Party was formed on 1 January 1923 by C R Das and Motilal Nehru.After the Chauri Chaura incident, Mahatma Gandhi withdrew the non-cooperation movement in 1922.This was met with a lot of disagreements among leaders of the Congress Party.While some wanted to continue non-cooperation, others wanted to end the legislature boycott and contest elections. The former were called no-changers and such leaders included Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, C Rajagopalachari, etc.The others who wanted to enter the legislative council and obstruct the British government from within were called the pro-changers. These leaders included C R Das, Motilal Nehru, Srinivasa Iyengar, etc.In 1922, in the Gaya session of the Congress, C R Das (who was presiding over the session) moved a proposal to enter the legislatures but it was defeated. Das and other leaders broke away from the Congress and formed the Swaraj Party.C R Das was the President and the Secretary was Motilal Nehru.Prominent leaders of the Swaraj Party included N C Kelkar, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Subhash Chandra Bose.
The group of nation's "untouchables' form around the 1930s had begun to call themselves dalit or oppressed. The ignorant attitude of the Congress alienated them from the wider nationalist movement. Although, Gandhiji made efforts to give them access to various public places and did different tasks such as cleaning toilets and persuaded people to give up the sin of untouchability, but the dalit leaders saw a different political solution. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The reason of forming the Swaraj party was to contest the elections and  give the Indians a chance of forming a government and administrating themselves.

Explanation:

The untouchables were not moved by the "abstract concept of Swaraj" because they had already started feeling alienated from the Congress and felt that this was not a solution to their problems. Even though Gandhiji made efforts to include them yet his efforts were futile. They started organising themselves in unions and groups in order to demand reservation.
