Master the topic deeply rather than simply memorizing the answer
In 1928, the Nehru Report proposed Dominion Status for India within the British Commonwealth. Younger leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose demanded uncompromising complete independence. When the British Viceroy Lord Irwin failed to give clear commitments, the Congress met on the banks of the River Ravi in Lahore in December 1929 under Jawaharlal Nehru's presidency. The historic Purna Swaraj resolution was passed at midnight on 31 December 1929, the newly adopted tricolour flag was unfurled, and 26 January 1930 was declared 'Purna Swaraj Day' (Independence Day).
