C.The British did not want to leave India earlier than this date
D. It was an auspicious day

Answer 1

Hint: At its Lahore session, the Indian National Congress passed 'Purna Swaraj' (total independence) resolution on 19 December 1929. On 26 January 1930, a day which the Congress Party urged Indians to celebrate as 'Independence Day’, a public declaration was made. The declaration was passed due to the breakdown of talks on the issue of dominion status for India between leaders of the freedom movement and the British officials.

 Complete answer:
The Constituent Assembly started the mission of drafting India's Constitution under Dr.B. R Ambedkar in 1947. The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950 and the day was identified as Republic Day. To remember the Purna Swaraj Declaration, the Assembly chose January 26. On December 19, 1929, the Indian National Congress adopted the declaration of India's independence from British control. Congress declared their ultimate aim was to bring full independence at this annual session in Lahore, and this was called 'Purna Swaraj.' Due to the British oppression of Indians, the Purna Swaraj was tremendously important as The British were destroying India's economy, politics, culture, and spirituality and depriving them of their liberty. During their rule, the British have repeatedly denied basic political rights to the Indian people and parties by persistently ignoring them. This resulted in the growth of consensus regarding a popular desire in the Indian National Congress, which is the full overthrow of the British from India.
The Declaration of Independence manifesto was a 750-word-long text. There was no legislative or legal framework included in this text. Nevertheless, the text called for many relations with the British demanding absolute independence. The Purna Swaraj document called for Indians to be free from social, economic, political, and living standards. During British rule, the text requested all the basic rights of the Indian people they were deprived of. A significant igniting factor in raising the sense of nationalism among the Indian public was the full Indian Independence proclaimed by Congress on 26 January 1930. This case, which eventually won us our official independence in 1947, was followed by many impactful movements.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:Via various campaigns and demonstrations, the Indian National Congress periodically observed January 26 as their Independence Day. The British eventually agreed to the transition of power in 1947, effectively making India a free country. There was however, no Indian constitutional draught. An official constitutional draught was adopted and the declaration of India's constitution was made on 26 January 1950, making India a republic.
