Q. Subhash Chandra Bose resigned from the Presidentship of the Congress in
(a) 1938
(b) 1939
(c) 1940
(d) none of the above
Ans: (b) 1939
Explanation: Subhash Chandra Bose was elected as the President of the Indian National Congress in 1938. However, due to ideological differences and disagreements with the Congress leadership, particularly regarding their approach to the British Raj, Bose tendered his resignation in 1939.
His resignation led to a split within the Congress, with a faction supporting Bose’s more radical and militant approach. Bose went on to form the Forward Bloc and later played a significant role in the Indian independence movement.
Therefore, the correct answer is (b) 1939.
