Question

Why did the indian national congress change its goal from swaraj to purna swaraj or complete independence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The INC changed its goal from Swaraj to Purna Swaraj because of the following reasons:

1. The attitude of the British government compelled the national leaders to adopt the the goal of complete independence.
2. Continued economic exploitation of the Indians by the British angered the leaders.
3. Discontentment over Simon Commission which did not include any of the  Indian member.
4. Brutal oppression a by the British of the demonstrators and death of Lala Lajpat rai angered the nationalist leaders.
5. Vague offer of Dominion status did not satisfy the Indian leaders.
6. Thus, the pledge of Purna Swaraj was taken at the Lahore session 1929

Answer 2

The Indian National Congress demanded Poorna swaraj in 1929

• The demand for Poorna swaraj was passed in the Lahore session of 1929
• It was made under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru
• They declared that attaining Poorna Swaraj will be the prime goal of freedom fights

The several reasons that led the demand of INC from swaraj to poornaswaraj include:

• They demanded the British to leave India forever because of the cruelty and atrocities done by them
• The British were trying to implement the divide and rule policy in various parts of our country
• This was not acceptable by any of the parties or social leaders
• The British were trying to exploit the country by looting all our treasures
• Even though the Simon Commission was appointed to study the needs and demands of India none of Indians were appointed in that commission
• And this was not acceptable by the Indian people and great protest occurred against this
• In that protest the revolutionary leader Lala Lajpat Rai was seriously injured and he died
• The Indians were not given the dominion status even though the British offered it
