In 1920, which of the following changed its name to “Swarajya Sabha” ?

Show answer

Answer: A. In 1920, the All India Home Rule League, with Gandhi as its president, changed its name to Swarajya Sabha. So option A.

Watch for: Students confuse the Swarajya Sabha with the Swaraj Party formed in 1923.

Why the other options are wrong
  • B. Wrong because the Hindu Mahasabha kept its name.
  • C. Wrong because the South Indian Liberal Federation (Justice Party) did not become the Swarajya Sabha.
  • D. Wrong because the Servants of India Society kept its name.
