The Swaraj Party, Swarajaya Party or Swarajya Party, established as the Congress-Khilafat Swarajaya Party, was a political party formed in India in January1923 after Gaya annual conference in Dec.1922 of Indian national congress,that sought greater self-government and political freedoms for the Indian people from the British Raj. It was inspired by the concept of Swaraj. In Hindi and many other languages of India, ''swaraj'' means "independence" or "self-rule" The main leaders were Motilal Nehru, etc. Motilal Nehru and Chittaranjan Das thought of contesting elections to enter the legislative council with a view to obstructing the government. Many candidates of the swaraj party got elected to the central legislative assembly and provincial legislative council in the 1923 elections. In the legislature they strongly opposed the unjust government policies. The establishment of fully responsible government for India. Convening of a round table conference to resolve the problems of Indians. Releasing of certain political prisoners, were the resolutions in the central legislative council. ==Chauri Chaura== The Swaraj Party was formed on 9 January 1923 by Indian politicians and members of the Indian National Congress who had opposed Mahatma Gandhi's suspension of all civil resistance on 5 February 1922 in response to the Chauri Chaura tragedy, where policemen were killed by a mob of protestors. Gandhi felt responsible for the killings, reproached himself for not emphasizing non-violence more firmly, and feared that the entire Non-Cooperation Movement degenerated into an orgy of violence between the British-controlled army and police and mobs of freedom-fighters, alienating and hurting millions of common Indians. He went on a fast-unto-death to convince all Indians to stop civil resistance. The Congress and other nationalist groups disavowed all activities of disobedience. But many Indians felt that the Non-Cooperation Movement should not have been suspended over an isolated incident of violence, and that its astonishing success was actually close to breaking the back of British rule in India. These people became disillusioned with Gandhi's political judgments and instincts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swaraj Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
