Answer 1

Hint: The British captured India and ruled over a hundred years. Several Indian patriots protested against the British for the independence of India. Gandhiji was the main leader in Indian Freedom Movement. He is considered as the father of Nation for India.

Complete answer: Let's discuss Purna Swaraj declaration. It was made due to the declaration of Lord Irwin , the then Viceroy of India , in October . It provided the information about the dominion status of India but didn’t have any information about the timeline. It created both protests and celebrations. In Britain, there was backslash. They protested against the government. In India , they welcomed the declaration and the Indian Patronist leaders stated that dominion status was not far away. The flag of India was hoisted on the banks of River Ravi, Lahore on by Jawaharlal Nehru. The last session of Congress that was by Jawaharlal Nehru which was held in Lahore, the Congress working committee met on Second January and it was decided that should be observed as 'Poorna Swarajya Day'.It is mainly known as Lahore Congress. It demands the self-rule or Purna Swarajya of India or the Independence of India. Purna Swaraj Declaration was promulgated by Indian National Congress on. They asked the people of India including both Hindus and Muslims to fight for Independence.

Hence option C is correct.

Note: Though the British followed several strategies, India got independence in . The continuous protest by the Indian patriots freed India from the British. To remember the Purna Swaraj Declaration, Indian Constitution was adopted on 26 January,1950.
