C.R. Das, Motilal Nehru and the Swaraj Party
Abstract
The first session of the Indian National Congress (INC), after the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1920-21, was held in Gaya in December 1922. The president of the session, C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru, who had earlier presided over the Congress three years earlier, were in favour of the council entry as they felt that it was the best forum to present the country’s legitimate demands.
