Question map
Who among the following suggested the winding up of the Indian National Congress after India attained independence?
Explanation
In the post‑Independence debate on the future of the Congress, Mahatma Gandhi advanced the idea that the Indian National Congress should be dissolved and transformed into a people’s service organisation (a “Lok Sevak Sangh”), framing dissolution as part of a broader reorientation of public life after freedom. Contemporary accounts and later discussions record Gandhi’s statements advocating such a move and describe it as part of his late reflections on the party’s role once the struggle against British rule had ended. Other leaders—such as J.B. Kripalani—favoured reorientation rather than outright winding up, indicating the debate within Congress over its post‑Independence identity.
