Who among the following had demanded first the dominion status for India?
1) Rajagopalachari and Sardar Patel
2) Pt. Motilal Nehru and Govind Ballabh Pant
3) Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Jaykar
4) Jawaharlal Nehru and Jagjeevanram
The correct answer is Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Jaykar .
Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Jayakar were the ones who demanded the dominion status for India for the first time. They were two prominent leaders of the Indian National Congress who were part of the Simon Commission which was appointed by the British Government to look into the issue of constitutional reform in India. The report of the Simon Commission was criticized in India as it did not have a single Indian member. In response to this, the Congress appointed a committee headed by Motilal Nehru to draft a Constitution for India. The Nehru Report was presented in 1928, which demanded the Dominion status for India. However, it was Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru and Jayakar who had already demanded the same during the meetings of the Simon Commission.
