The resolution of Purna Swaraj was adopted in Lahore Session in the year of 1929. USP 25 . The Poona Pact was signed between Dr BR Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi in the year 1932.

This Act gave the government enormous powers to repress political activities, and allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for two years. It was hurriedly passed despite the united opposition of the Indian members.

Khilafat Issue : Indian Muslims were not happy with the British treatment of Ottoman Turkey after the latter's defeat in WW-I. The Ottomon emperor was the head of the Islamic world or Khalifa.
