The Swaraj Party was formed in 1923 by which leaders?

• A. 1919 by Tilak & Lajpat Rai
• B. 1942 by Nehru & Patel
• C. 1923 by CR Das & Motilal Nehru
• D. 1930 by Gandhi

Answer: (C)

This question tests your recall of who founded the Swaraj Party and when. After the Non-Cooperation Movement, some Congress leaders believed that entering legislative councils could be a way to press for self-rule from within the system. Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru spearheaded this idea and formed the Swaraj Party in 1923. Their aim was to contest elections to the Central and Provincial Legislative Councils and use parliamentary procedures to obstruct the colonial government while pushing for constitutional reforms. The name Swaraj signified self-rule through constitutional means, not outright withdrawal from politics. The other options mix different leaders and timings from unrelated moments in the freedom struggle, so they don’t fit this specific formation.
