Question

Statement (S): In the Second World War Indian National Congress cooperated with Britishers.
Reason (R): Because they hoped for complete independence.

Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option B: S and R both are correct but R does not explain the S

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “S and R both are correct but R does not explain the S”.
The Indian National Congress did cooperate with the British during World War II. They initially agreed to support the war effort, but this cooperation was conditional.

The hope for complete independence was a primary motive behind their conditional support. However, the Congress's cooperation was not solely driven by this hope; it also involved complex political negotiations and was not straightforward.
