Who among the following was one of the founders of the Swaraj Party?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Chittaranjan Das.
One of the founders of the Swaraj Party was Chittaranjan Das, along with Motilal Nehru. The party was established in 1923 after the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement by Mahatma Gandhi. Disagreeing with the policy of boycotting the legislative councils, Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru formed the Swaraj Party to enter the councils and obstruct British rule from within. Their goal was to achieve self-governance (Swaraj) for India through constitutional means. The Swaraj Party played a key role in keeping the spirit of nationalism alive during a period when mainstream Congress activities had slowed down.
