Question 79
AOptions
BSolution
In 1920, following the death of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, the All India Home Rule League changed its name to "Swarajya Sabha". This change reflected a broader shift in its objectives, aligning more closely with Gandhi's vision of 'Swaraj' and the non-cooperation movement, moving beyond the narrower demand for 'Home Rule' within the British Empire.
The other options are incorrect:
- Hindu Mahasabha: Was formed much earlier and maintained its distinct identity.
- South Indian Liberal Federation: Also known as the Justice Party, it was a political party in the Madras Presidency focusing on non-Brahmin interests and did not change its name to Swarajya Sabha.
- The Servants of India Society: Founded by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, it was primarily a social reform organization and retained its name.
