Official UPSC Answer KeyUPSC Prelims 2011 • Modern History

Correct Answer: Option (B) — 2 and 3 only

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Nehru Report (1928) recommended 'Dominion Status' on the lines of self-governing dominions, not Complete Independence (which led younger leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Bose to form the Independence for India League). Statement 2 is correct: It rejected separate electorates and proposed joint electorates with reservation of seats for religious minorities at the Centre and in provinces where they were in a minority. Statement 3 is correct: It recommended 19 fundamental rights, including equal rights for women, freedom of speech, and universal adult suffrage.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

Remember that the Nehru Report's recommendation of 'Dominion Status' instead of 'Poorna Swaraj' was its most contentious point. Eliminating Statement 1 directly leaves (b) 2 and 3 only.
