💡 Solution & Explanation

The Delhi Manifesto was issued in October 1929 by prominent Indian nationalist leaders following a conference convened by Vithalbhai Patel. It outlined conditional prerequisites for attending the First Round Table Conference in London, demanding that the implicit policy of the government should be the granting of Dominion Status to India. The British rejection of these terms subsequently led to the Lahore Congress resolution of complete independence and the launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
