In which year the Nehru Report was published?

The Nehru Report was a significant document in the history of India's struggle for independence, outlining a proposed new dominion status constitution for India. It was drafted by a committee headed by Motilal Nehru in response to the challenge posed by Lord Birkenhead, the Secretary of State for India, who challenged Indians to draft their own constitution.

The Nehru Report was published in August 1928. It advocated for dominion status, universal adult suffrage, a secular state, and fundamental rights, among other provisions. Its publication marked a crucial step in the Indian nationalist movement, demonstrating India's capacity to frame its own constitutional proposals.

• 1927 was the year the Simon Commission was appointed, which subsequently led to the Indian political parties' decision to draft their own constitution, culminating in the Nehru Report.
• 1929 saw the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress, where the demand for 'Purna Swaraj' (complete independence) was declared, moving beyond the dominion status proposed by the Nehru Report.
• 1930 marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Dandi March, major events following the rejection of the Nehru Report's proposals by the British.
