Aptitude360 explains the answer to every question, so you can check the basic facts as you go.

Topics covered in this Swaraj Party and Simon Commission quiz

  • Formation of the Swaraj Party by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru within the Congress

  • Lord Irwin's offer, the Lahore session and the pledge taken on the day observed as Independence Day

Key facts to revise for this Modern History topic

  • Full forms of revolutionary organisations such as the HSRA
  • The provincial councils the Swarajists wanted to enter, set up under the Government of India Act
  • How the worldwide economic Depression hit Indian peasants as farm prices fell

Revision tips for the Purna Swaraj phase

  • Learn the events as one story running from the end of Non-Cooperation to the Lahore session
  • Pair every event with one person, for example Bardoli with Patel and the Assembly bomb with Bhagat Singh and B.K. Dutt
  • Keep separate notes on Dominion Status and Purna Swaraj so the two demands never get mixed up

Who should take this Level 1 set
