Q. During whose tenure, the resolution of total Independence was passed?
(a) Lord Chelmsford
(b) Lord Wavell
(c) Lord Irwin
(d) Lord Willington
Ans: (c) Lord Irwin
Explanation:
The resolution of total independence was passed during the tenure of (c) Lord Irwin.
Lord Irwin, whose full name was Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, served as the Viceroy of India from 1926 to 1931. It was during his tenure that the resolution of total independence, also known as the Poorna Swaraj resolution, was passed by the Indian National Congress.
The Poorna Swaraj resolution was adopted on December 31, 1929, during the Lahore session of the Indian National Congress. It declared the goal of the Indian National Congress to be complete independence from British rule, rather than seeking dominion status or limited self-rule.
The resolution marked a significant shift in the demands of the Indian National Congress and laid the foundation for the subsequent movements and struggles for independence in India.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Lord Irwin.
