The correct answer is A) Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Dr. M.A. Ansari. This group was known as the ‘No-changers’.
– Following the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922, a significant debate arose within the Indian National Congress regarding the future course of action.
– Two main factions emerged: the ‘Pro-changers’ (Swarajists) led by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru, who advocated for entry into the legislative councils to obstruct government functioning from within; and the ‘No-changers’, who opposed council entry and emphasized constructive work among the masses outside the councils (like promoting Khadi, Hindu-Muslim unity, anti-untouchability campaigns, etc.).
– Prominent ‘No-changers’ included Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Rajendra Prasad, C. Rajagopalachari, and M.A. Ansari.
Option B lists prominent ‘Pro-changers’ or Swarajists. Options C and D include individuals who were active in the national movement but were not the primary leaders of the ‘No-changer’ faction; Subhash Bose, for instance, had a different political trajectory later.
