Question

Swaraj Party formation?

Answer 1

Answer: 1923

Explanation:

The Swaraj Party was formed in 1923 as a political organization within the Indian National Congress. This party emerged during a crucial period in India's freedom struggle when there were significant differences of opinion among Congress leaders about the future course of action.

The formation of the Swaraj Party came after the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922 following the Chauri Chaura incident. Many Congress leaders felt disappointed and wanted to find alternative ways to continue the struggle for independence. The party was founded by prominent leaders Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru, who believed in entering the legislative councils to obstruct British policies from within the system.

The main objectives of the Swaraj Party included:

• Winning elections to enter legislative councils and assemblies • Obstructing government policies and exposing the true nature of British rule • Demanding immediate self-government for India • Protecting civil liberties and fighting repressive laws

The party achieved considerable success in the 1923 elections, winning significant seats in various provincial councils. They effectively used their positions to criticize British policies, reject government budgets, and highlight the exploitative nature of colonial rule. However, the party gradually declined after the death of C.R. Das in 1925 and eventually merged back with the Congress in 1926.
