The question asks about the recommendations of the Nehru Report, a significant document during the Indian freedom struggle. We need to evaluate each statement against the known provisions of the Nehru Report.
The Nehru Report (1928) advocated for Dominion Status for India within the British Commonwealth, not complete independence. It was only later, at the Lahore Session of 1929, that the Indian National Congress adopted 'Purna Swaraj' or complete independence as its goal.
The Nehru Report rejected separate electorates, which had been a contentious issue, and instead recommended joint electorates with reservation of seats for minorities in proportion to their population in provinces where they were a minority. This was a key proposal to address minority concerns while promoting national unity.
The Nehru Report included a comprehensive list of fundamental rights for the people of India, which was a pioneering aspect of the report. These rights were to be guaranteed in the proposed constitution for India.
Based on this evaluation, Statement 1 is incorrect, while Statements 2 and 3 are correct.
Correct Option: B) 2 and 3 only
The question asks for the reason behind the resignation of Congress ministries in seven provinces in 1939. We need to evaluate each given option against historical facts concerning this event.
D) None of the statements (a), (b) and (c) given above is correct.
The primary reason for the resignation of the Congress ministries was the British government's decision to involve India in World War II without consulting Indian leaders and its refusal to promise independence after the war. This reason is not captured in options A, B, or C.
The question asks for the primary reason behind Mahatma Gandhi's fast unto death in 1932. This requires knowledge of key events in the Indian independence movement, specifically those occurring around 1932.
Correct Option: C) Ramsay Macdonald announced the communal Award. Mahatma Gandhi undertook a fast unto death in September 1932 in Yerwada Jail to protest against the Communal Award announced by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. This award proposed separate electorates for the Depressed Classes, which Gandhi saw as a move to divide Hindu society.
The question asks to identify the statement that is NOT true about the Quit India Movement of 1942. We need to evaluate each option based on historical facts related to the movement.
D) It did not attract the labour class in general.
This statement is not true. The Quit India Movement saw significant participation from the labour class. Workers in industrial cities like Bombay, Ahmedabad, Jamshedpur, and Kanpur went on strikes and actively joined the protests, demonstrating their solidarity with the movement. For example, Ahmedabad textile mills remained closed for three and a half months, and workers in Jamshedpur struck for a long period.
The question asks about the primary objective of the Butler Committee of 1927. To answer this, one needs to recall the historical context and the specific mandate given to this committee during the British Raj in India.
D) Improve the relationship between the Government of India and the Indian States. The Butler Committee was specifically constituted to examine the relationship between the paramount power (British Crown) and the Indian princely states, and to make recommendations for the safeguarding of their rights and obligations in the evolving political landscape of India. Its report, submitted in 1929, emphasized paramountcy but also acknowledged the need for better relations.
To determine the correct chronological sequence of the given events, we need to recall the dates associated with each event during the Indian freedom struggle.
Arranging these events chronologically:
Therefore, the correct sequence is 3 - 2 - 1.
Correct Option: C) 3--2--1 is the correct chronological sequence of the events: Second Round Table Conference (1931), The Quit India Movement (1942), and Mutiny in Royal Indian Navy (1946).
