1929 in India

The year 1929 in India was marked by significant political activity, social change, and economic challenges against the backdrop of British colonial rule. The Indian National Congress, under the leadership of prominent figures such as Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, intensified its demand for self-rule, culminating in the Lahore session where the resolution for complete independence was adopted. This period also saw the establishment of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, highlighting the rise of revolutionary movements. Additionally, the year was characterized by economic difficulties, including the impact of the Great Depression, which began to affect India in late 1929, leading to widespread unemployment and social unrest.
