Q.

Which of the following statements with respect to Tripuri session of congress 1939 is correct?
Explanation:

Option (c) is the correct answer.

  • Tripuri session of congress 1939: It was held in Tripuri, a small village in the District Jabalpur of Madhya Pradesh (Central Province), presided by Subhash Chandra Bose.
  • The internal strife in the Congress reached the climax at the Tripuri session. Bose in his presidential address at Tripuri advocated programme of immediately giving the British Government a six-month ultimatum to grant the national demand for independence and of launching a mass civil disobedience movement if it failed to do so. Gandhi too believed that another round for mass struggle was necessary to win freedom but said the time was not yet ripe for an ultimatum because neither the Congress nor the masses were yet ready for struggle. This internal strife forced Bose to resign from the presidentship and Rajendra Prasad was elected in his place. Subsequently, in May, Bose and his followers formed the Forward Bloc as a new party within the Congress and when on 9 July he gave a call for an all-India protest against an AICC resolution, the Working Committee took disciplinary action against him, removing him from the presidentship of the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee and debarring him from holding any Congress office for three years.
  • A kisan manifesto was issued by the Kisan Congress and the influence of this manifesto was seen in the agrarian programme adopted by the Indian National Congress at its Faizpur session in Maharashtra in December 1936. The second session of the Kisan Congress presided over by N.G. Ranga was held along with the Indian National Congress session at Faizpur. The Faizpur Agrarian Programme reiterated the demand made at Karachi for substantial reduction in both rent and revenue. Hence option (b) is incorrect.
  • The official Congress unequivocally condemned the Nazi attack on Poland as well as Nazism and Fascism, and declared that India could not be party to a war which was ostensibly being fought for democratic freedom while that freedom was being denied to her and adopted a resolution at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee held at Wardha. Hence option (d) is incorrect.

Thus, Option C is Correct.
