1940 Resolution

The 1940 Resolution was a formal statement by the Indian National Congress asserting that India’s struggle was primarily for independence from British rule, aiming for complete sovereignty rather than limited reforms. It marked a decisive shift from seeking reforms within the British system to demanding full independence. While the resolution was passed during a period of political tension, it unified various factions of the Indian independence movement under a clear goal of self-rule, setting the stage for more assertive actions in the years to follow.
