- 1906.The question of either retention OR of rejection of these four resolutions became the cause of a split in Congress at the next Congress session held in Surat in
- 1907.Which one of the following was not one of those resolutions?
- A.Annulment of partition of Bengal
- B.Boycott
- C.National education
- D.Swadeshi
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: C. National education
The Calcutta Session of 1906 adopted four key resolutions: Swadeshi, Boycott, National Education, and Self-Government. The Swadeshi movement aimed to promote Indian goods and industries, while the Boycott resolution called for boycotting British goods and institutions. National Education sought to establish an independent education system. The conflict over the implementation and scope of these resolutions, particularly whether to extend them beyond Bengal and the method of their adoption, led to the Surat split in 1907. The annulment of the partition of Bengal was a demand raised by the Congress, but it was not one of the four specific resolutions passed at the 1906 Calcutta session.
