The Lucknow Session<\/strong> of the Indian National Congress<\/strong> was chaired by Ambica Charan Mazumdar<\/strong> and marked the 31st gathering of the INC in Lucknow. This session holds historic significance<\/strong> due to crucial decisions made, particularly the reconciliation between the moderates<\/strong> and the extremists<\/strong>. After a decade of ideological disputes since their split in the Surat session of 1907, this event signified a pivotal moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bal Gangadhar Tilak<\/strong>, in a key role, assured the moderates that the extremists would abstain from adopting any agitational strategy or politics<\/strong> in their protest against the British. This assurance played a crucial role in facilitating the reconciliation. The demise of prominent Moderate leaders like Gopal Krishna Gokhale<\/strong> and Pherozeshah Mehta<\/strong> further reduced opposition to the amalgamation of the Congress factions (Extremists and Moderates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This situation paved the way for Tilak<\/strong> and Annie Besant<\/strong> to emerge as dominant figures within the Congress. The historic Lucknow Pact<\/strong> between Congress and the Muslim League was also signed during this session. For those preparing for the UPSC exam<\/strong>, understanding the nuances of the Lucknow Session of INC<\/strong> becomes crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
