Just a week before the Lahore Congress session, which promised a lot, an attempt was made on the life of the viceroy, Lord Irwin, while he was travelling by train. The revolutionaries had made long preparation and laid a stick of dynamite under the railway track.

It called forth great ingenuity and perseverance as they had to do all this secretly. The dynamite exploded a few seconds too late with the result that the viceroy escaped with only a shock.
The Congress under the influence of Gandhi passed a
resolution which read--
#क्रांतिदूत

From "They Lived Dangerously" by Manmath Nath Gupta.

The independence resolution passed at Lahore read along with the above resolution gives a real feel of the prevalent congress atmosphere.

Think of the Bolshevik Party of Lenin passing a resolution on the narrow escape of the tzar on the eve of launching the revolution and you will know what the Lahore congress achieved under Nehru.

The Congress was metamorphosed by Gandhi, but the more it changed the more it remained the same. It could never get rid of its birthmark. For a number of years, the Congress used to wind up its sessions with three lusty cheers to the queen or the king.
