Q.11 Read the following extract from the text book and answer the questions that follow:
The Independence Day Pledge, 26 Jan. 1930 : We believe that it is inalienable right of
the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their
toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We
believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them,
the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India
has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the
exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and
spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must severe the British connection and attain
Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.
