Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Think about the 1928 commission and why Indians boycotted it.

Hint 2

Recall the Lahore session of 1929.

Hint 3

Which tax did Gandhi pick for his famous march?

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The Simon Commission (1928) had no Indian member. Indians protested with the slogan 'Go Back Simon', and Lala Lajpat Rai died after being lathi-charged during the protest. This enraged the nation.

    1 mark

  2. Lord Irwin's vague offer of dominion status did not satisfy the Congress. The Lahore Session of 1929 under Nehru demanded Poorna Swaraj (complete independence).

    1 mark

  3. Gandhiji's Eleven Demands, including abolition of the salt tax, were ignored. The salt law was seen as oppressive, which made him begin the Dandi March in 1930.

    1 mark

Answer: Simon Commission and the lathi-charge, the vague dominion offer and Poorna Swaraj demand, and neglect of Gandhi's demands including the salt tax.

Where the marks are

  • Simon Commission and the protests or death of Lala Lajpat Rai (1 mark)
  • Vague dominion status offer or Lahore Congress Poorna Swaraj demand (1 mark)
  • Salt law or neglect of Gandhi's demands (1 mark)
