Purna Swaraj Resolution

The Purna Swaraj Resolution, passed by the Indian National Congress in 1929, called for complete independence from British rule in India. It marked a significant shift from seeking self-governance to demanding total sovereignty. The resolution declared that British rule was illegitimate and urged Indians to struggle for full freedom. A diverse coalition of leaders, including Jawaharlal Nehru, endorsed this resolution, which fueled the independence movement. The official declaration of Purna Swaraj came on January 26, 1930, inspiring mass protests and a united front for India's freedom struggle in the following years.
