Model Answer
Jawaharlal Nehru on the Working Class
- In a message to the Indian Labour Journal in November 1933, Nehru again emphasised that both the social and the national struggles were basic and that in neither should a compromise be made. Hence, Assertion A is correct.
- Simultaneously, he urged the working class to play its due role in the anti-imperialist struggle. Hence, Reason R is the correct explanation of A.
- The workers should unite and organise, acquire and develop "the correct ideology" leading to a socialist programme, and act politically in alliance with the national movement with a view to "orient it in favour of the workers".
- In December 1933, in a speech delivered at the All-India Trade Union Congress, he assured the workers that, if they participated fully in the national struggle as well as in their own social struggle, they would help bring about not only "political freedom in India but social freedom also".
