Indian Independence Movement

The Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA) was indeed founded in September 1928 at Ferozeshah Kotla in Delhi. This revolutionary organization was formed by Bhagat Singh, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, Sukhdev, and others after the suspension of the Hindustan Republican Association following the Kakori train action case. The name change reflected their socialist ideology.

M.N. Roy (Manabendra Nath Roy) organized the Radical Democratic Party in 1940 after differences with the Communist Party. He was a prominent Indian revolutionary, philosopher, and political theorist who had been associated with international communist movements before forming his own party. The party advocated for a radical democratic alternative to both capitalism and communism.

At the Bombay Session on May 17, 1927, Motilal Nehru moved a resolution calling for the Congress Working Committee to frame India's Constitution in consultation with elected members of Central and Provincial Legislatures and leading political parties. This resolution ultimately led to the appointment of the Nehru Committee (1928) which drafted the Nehru Report.

The States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) was appointed in 1953 with three members: Justice Fazl Ali (Chairman), K.M. Panikkar, and Hridayanath Kunzru. Potti Sriramulu was NOT a member - he was a Telugu freedom fighter who died in December 1952 after a fast unto death for Andhra state, which actually CREATED the momentum that led to the SRC's formation. His death preceded the commission's appointment.

Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee (also spelled Bannerjee) was the first President of the Indian National Congress. He presided over the first session of the INC held in Bombay in December 1885. Bonnerjee was a prominent lawyer and one of the early leaders who shaped the nationalist movement in its initial years.

The Ghadar Party was formed in 1913 by Lala Hardayal in San Francisco, USA to organize revolutionary activities against British rule in India. Option B is correct. 1917, 1918, and 1923 are incorrect years. Lala Lajpat Rai was a prominent Congress leader, Pandit Jugal Kishore was associated with Hindi journalism, and Udham Singh was a revolutionary who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer in 1940.

The 1929 Lahore Congress session was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, where the historic 'Purna Swaraj' (Complete Independence) resolution was passed and January 26, 1930 was fixed as Independence Day. Option C is correct. W.C. Bonnerjee was the first INC President (1885), A.O. Hume founded INC (1885), and Gandhi led the movement but wasn't president then.

Justice M. Hidayatullah served as Acting President of India twice - first in 1969 after President Zakir Husain's death, and again in 1977-1978 when President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed died and the Prime Minister was seeking re-election. This is a unique historical instance of a Chief Justice acting as President.

The first session of the Indian National Congress was held in Bombay in December 1885 under the presidentship of Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee (W.C. Banerjee). A.O. Hume was a British civil servant who founded the INC but never served as its president, while Badruddin Tyabji became the first Muslim president in 1887.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak famously never became INC President despite being a key leader, because his_extremist faction was often at odds with the moderate-controlled Congress. Subhas Chandra Bose was President in 1938 and 1939, and Gopal Krishna Gokhale served as President in 1905.
