Read the following source 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 also believe that if any government deprives people of these rights and oppresses them, the people have a further right to alter it or abolish it. The British Government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but 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." ($\displaystyle 35.1$) Why was Swaraj considered as an inalienable right of the India ? ($\displaystyle 35.2$) Which type of government is supported in the source ? ($\displaystyle 35.3$) Explain any two effects of British rule in India.
