The Indian National Congress Independence Day

The Indian National Congress declared 26 January as Independence Day, also known as Poorna Swaraj or “Complete Independence,” in 1930. This historic declaration was the culmination of a long-standing demand for independence from British rule.

The journey to this declaration began in 1929, when the Indian National Congress, led by Jawaharlal Nehru, passed the Purna Swaraj resolution at its Lahore session. This resolution called for complete independence from British rule, marking a significant shift in the Congress’s stance from demanding dominion status to seeking full independence.

The declaration of Poorna Swaraj was a pivotal moment in India’s struggle for independence, sparking widespread protests and civil disobedience movements across the country. The British government’s refusal to grant India dominion status and its subsequent crackdown on nationalist movements only strengthened the resolve of the Indian people to fight for their freedom.

Seventeen years after the declaration of Poorna Swaraj, India finally gained independence on August 15, 1947. The significance of January 26, however, was not lost, and in 1950, it was chosen as the day when India’s Constitution would come into effect, marking the country’s transition to a republic.
