A. Dominion Status
B. Purna Swaraj (Complete Independence)✓ Correct Answer
C. Separate Electorates for minorities
D. A bicameral central legislature

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress in December 1929 famously adopted the Purna Swaraj resolution under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru. Earlier moderate goals had centered on achieving Dominion Status within the British Empire, which the 1929 resolution formally discarded. This milestone paved the way for celebrating the first Independence Day on January 26, 1930.
