Read the case given below carefully and answer the questions that follow : The Independence Day Pledge, $\displaystyle 26$ January, $\displaystyle 1930$ 'We believe that it is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life, so that they may have full opportunities of growth. We believe also that if any government deprives a people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or to abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally, and spiritually. We believe, therefore, that India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.' ($\displaystyle 11.1$) Why was freedom considered an inalienable right of the Indian people ? ($\displaystyle 11.2$) Why was Purna Swaraj considered essential by the people of India ? ($\displaystyle 11.3$) Explain the significance of the Lahore Session of Congress ($\displaystyle 1930$).
