About Swadeshi Movement & Rise of Extremism

In 1905, Viceroy Curzon's decision to partition Bengal set off a wave of protest that would transform Indian nationalism. This quiz starts with that partition itself, its stated administrative reasoning and its real, divisive intent, and the mass reaction it provoked: Rakhi Bandhan, Arandhan, and the boycott resolution passed at Calcutta's Town Hall on 7 August 1905.

It then covers the Swadeshi Movement itself in real depth, the boycott of foreign goods, the drive for indigenous industry, and the parallel National Education movement, along with the Bengali leaders and cultural figures, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, and Bipin Chandra Pal among them, who gave the movement its voice.

A large part of this quiz is then devoted to the "Lal-Bal-Pal" trio of Extremist leaders, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Bipin Chandra Pal, who broke decisively from the Moderates' own patient, constitutional methods, and to the more radical revolutionary offshoots this same period produced: the Anushilan Samiti, the Alipore Bomb Case, and the London assassination of Curzon Wyllie.

It closes with the political aftermath of this whole turbulent period: the formation of the Muslim League, the 1907 Surat Split within the Congress itself, the Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909, and the eventual annulment of the Partition of Bengal in 1911.
