why was the offer of dominion status by lord irwin rejected by indin national congress
Answers
In October 1929, Viceroy Lord Irwin, announced an offer of 'dominion status' for India. It was a vague statement which proposed to grant a dominion status in an unspecified future. It proposed to hold a round table conference to discuss a future constitution. These provisions did not satisfy the Congress leaders. At this time Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose were the radical leaders who became more assertive. The liberals and moderates gradually lost their influence as they were proposing a constitutional system within the British dominion.

In an effort to win them over, the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, announced in October 1929, a vague offer of ‘dominion status’ for India in an unspecified future, and a round table conference to discuss a future constitution.
This did not satisfy the Congress leaders. The radicals within the Congress, led by Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose, became more assertive.
The liberals and moderates, who were proposing a constitutional system within the framework of British dominion, gradually lost their influence.
