The independence Day Pledge, 26 January 1930
We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people as of any other people, to have
freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may
have full opportunities of growth. We believe also that if any government deprives a people of
these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter to abolish it. The
British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has
based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically,
culturally, and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection
and attain Purna Swaraj or complete independence.
(a) What was considered as an inalienable right? 1
(b) Who took this pledge ? 1
(c) Why did Indian ask for Purna Swaraj? 1
(d) Examine the view of Indians towards the British Government in reference to this passage. 2
