The Swaraj Party was founded by?

Appeared in: KPSC Staff Nurse - 2017

The Swaraj Party, originally the Congress-Khilafat Swarajya Party, was established in January 1923.
Its principal founders were C.R. Das, who served as its president, and Motilal Nehru, who was its secretary.
The party was formed by the 'Pro-Changers' faction of the Indian National Congress, which advocated for entering legislative councils to obstruct colonial governance from within.

Option B: He was a leader of the 'No-Changers' faction, which opposed council entry and advocated for continuing the boycott of British institutions and focusing on constructive work.
Option C: He was not involved in the founding of the Swaraj Party. He was a younger, more radical nationalist who later formed the Forward Bloc in 1939 after resigning from the Congress presidency.
Option D: She was a prominent 'No-Changer' and a staunch follower of Gandhi's program of constructive work, thus opposing the Swarajist strategy of council entry.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Founding of the Swaraj Party and factions in the Indian National Congress as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
General Knowledge, including modern Indian history, is a component of many nursing entrance and recruitment exams in India.
Understanding the different phases and internal debates of the Indian independence movement provides context for the development of the nation's social and political landscape.
What if the question asked for the secretary of the Swaraj Party? The answer would be Motilal Nehru, who was the co-founder with C.R. Das.

How to Approach the Question

Identify the core subject of the question: the founding of the 'Swaraj Party'.
Recall the historical context: the early 1920s, following the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
Remember the key division within Congress at this time: 'Pro-Changers' (who wanted to enter councils) and 'No-Changers' (who wanted to continue the boycott).
Associate the Swaraj Party with the 'Pro-Changers' and its main leaders: C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru.
Compare these names with the given options. C.R. Das is present in the options.
Eliminate the other options by identifying them as 'No-Changers' (Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarojini Naidu) or leaders associated with different political movements (Subhash Chandra Bose).
