The Independence Day Pledge, January 26 January 1930.

"We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We also believe that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or complete Independence"

Detailed Solution

The immediate effect of the Lahore session of Congress on the Indian National Movement was "Purna Swaraj."
Purna Swaraj, or complete independence, was every Indian National Independence Activist's visionary idea or dream. Every activist's struggle for independence was either complete independence or death. Like in the latter, Gandhi quotes, "Do or Die." The concept arose during the 1929 session of the Indian National Congress, held in Lahore, Pakistan, and was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru. And in the meeting, it was concluded to celebrate the day of Purna Swaraj on January 26. This date later became the Republic Day of India in 1950.
