Options:

Calcutta Session of 1907

Surat Session of 1907

Nagpur Session of 1907

Chotanagpur Session of 1908

Correct Answer:

Surat Session of 1907

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - Surat Session of 1907

The Indian National Congress split into two factions at the Surat Session of 1907.

The split was caused by differences between the moderate and extremist factions of the party. The moderates advocated for gradual reforms through constitutional means, while the extremists advocated for more radical methods, such as boycotts and civil disobedience.

The split was a setback for the Indian independence movement, but it also showed that the Indian people were willing to fight for their freedom. The split also led to the formation of new political parties, such as the All-India Muslim League, which would play an important role in the Indian independence movement.

The Surat Session of 1907, presided by Rash Behari Ghosh was a watershed moment in Indian history. It marked the end of the moderate phase of the Indian independence movement and the beginning of the extremist phase. The split also led to the rise of new leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, who would eventually lead India to independence in 1947.
