What to Focus On

  • The Congress used constitutional methods from 1885 to 1905.
  • Assertive/Radical Nationalists rejected the policy of loyalty and beggary.
  • They wanted complete Swaraj.

  • Freedom is the birth-right of every Indian.
  • They wanted Indian rule in place of British rule.
  • They supported Indian culture and civilisation.

  • Swadeshi means home-made goods.
  • Boycott means refusing foreign goods.
  • Swadeshi and boycott are complementary.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Partition of Bengal was carried out in 1903 because it was announced in 1903.

Swadeshi and Boycott are two separate movements with no connection.

Early Nationalists and Assertive Radical Nationalists wanted the same methods, only their style was different.
