Key Points

  • Let's look at each part of the sentence:
    • The 26th of January was chosen:
      •  This part is grammatically correct since the superlative article 'the' is used to refer to a very special date in our country's history
    • to commemorate the Purna Swaraj:
      • Here, the usage of the superlative article 'the' to refer to Purna Swaraj is correct as it refers to a specific historical declaration
    • declaration for the complete independence, of 1930:
      • The word declaration means a formal statement of something
      • It is followed by the preposition of. Example: Declaration of freedom, declaration of love etc
      • The part '..., of 1930' is used to convey that the declaration was made in the year 1930 and is grammatically correct

 

The correct sentence is: The 26th of January was chosen to commemorate the Purna Swaraj declaration of the complete independence, of 1930.
