C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru |
The correct answer is Option 2- C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru The Swaraj Party was formed by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru in 1923. The party was formed after the Non-Cooperation Movement was called off by Mahatma Gandhi in 1922. Das and Nehru were dissatisfied with Gandhi's decision and believed that the Congress should enter the legislative councils to work for reforms from within. The Swaraj Party was a major force in Indian politics in the 1920s and early 1930s. It won a number of seats in the legislative councils and was able to obstruct the British government's policies on a number of occasions. The party was eventually dissolved in 1935, but it played an important role in the Indian independence movement. It helped to popularize the idea of self-rule and to prepare the ground for the mass movements of the later 1930s. |
