Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi suggested the dissolution of the Indian National Congress as a political organization shortly before his death. In a document often referred to as his 'Last Will and Testament', written on January 29, 1948, Gandhi proposed that the Congress should disband and 'flower into a Lok Sevak Sangh'. He believed that while the Congress had achieved political independence, its role as a political party was over, and it should transform into a social service organization dedicated to the economic, social, and moral independence of India's villages. Gandhi argued that the existing Congress organization had outlived its use as a propaganda vehicle and needed to be replaced by a body of 'servants of the people' to focus on constructive work and rural upliftment. This proposal was published posthumously in the journal 'Harijan'.
