Modern Indian History

The Quit India Movement was launched at the Bombay session of the Indian National Congress on August 8, 1942. This historic resolution marked a decisive moment in India's freedom struggle, calling for immediate independence from British rule. The Bombay session was chosen as it was a major commercial center where the Congress could mobilize widespread support.

The Indian Association was founded in 1876 in Bengal by Surendranath Banerjee and Anand Mohan Bose. It was one of the earliest political organizations in India and played a significant role in the nationalist movement, advocating for constitutional reforms and Indian representation. The association later merged with the Indian National Congress.

Subhash Chandra Bose gave the famous clarion call 'Dilli Challo' (March to Delhi) during the Indian National Army (INA) campaign. This slogan embodied his militant approach to achieving independence and rallying Indians to march towards the capital to free their motherland from British rule. It inspired thousands during the final phase of the freedom struggle.

Individual satyagraha was organised by Vinoba Bhave.

The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed on March 5, 1931, marking a temporary truce between Mahatma Gandhi and Viceroy Lord Irwin. The Civil Disobedience Movement was suspended in return for political prisoners' release and salt monopoly relaxation. This agreement allowed Gandhi to attend the Second Round Table Conference in London.

 The coalition government formed in Bengal in 1937 consisted of the Krashak Praja Party and the Muslim League.

The satyagrahis would first demand freedom of speech against the war and if the government did not arrest them, they would say it again and go to the villages and towns and spread the movement and mobilize them to move to Delhi to put pressure on the government.

Correct

Lord William Bentinck's regulation prohibiting Sati was passed in 1829, largely due to Raja Ram Mohan Roy's reform efforts. This landmark law made the practice of widow immolation illegal across British India, representing a major victory for social reform and women's rights. The regulation came into effect in 1830.

In 1939, Gandhi allowed Jamnalal Bajaj to lead a Satyagraha in Jaipur, testing his technique of controlled mass struggle in a native state. This was an experiment in extending the freedom movement to princely India.

The Muslim League declared August 16, 1946 as Direct Action Day to demand a separate Pakistan. This led to large-scale communal riots in Calcutta, marking the beginning of widespread communal violence.

Correct answer is (1). 

 I is wrong as Cripps proposed dominion status for India, and not independence. Proposals II and III are what Cripps proposed.

Gandhiji did advocate giving unconditional support to the Allies as he saw their cause as just.

 India, officially the Indian Empire, declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939. The Provinces of British India, being imperial colonies of the United Kingdom, were by default a part of the Allied nations and sent over two million troops to fight against the Axis powers. And several Indian princely states provided large donations to support the Allied campaign during the war.
