- Question 1 of 7
1. Question
1 pointsCategory: HistoryWith reference to the Benares session (1905) of Indian National Congress, consider the following statements:
- This session was presided by G.K Gokhale.
- At this session, self-government or Swaraj was declared as the goal of the Indian National Congress.
- At this session, the leaders of Congress unanimously decided to extend the Swadeshi movement outside Bengal.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Statement 1 is correct. The Indian National Congress Benares session was presided over by G.K. Gokhale.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The goal of the Indian National Congress as ‘self-government or Swaraj like that of the United Kingdom or the Colonies’ was declared at the Calcutta session (1906). It was presided by Dadabhai Naoroji.
Statement 3 incorrect. At the Benaras session of the Indian National Congress presided over by Gokhale, the Moderate-Extremist differences came to the fore. The Extremists wanted to extend the Boycott and Swadeshi Movement to regions outside Bengal and also to include all forms of associations (such as government service, law courts, legislative councils, etc.) within the boycott programme and thus start a nationwide mass movement.
The Extremists wanted a strong resolution supporting their programme at the Benaras session. The Moderates, on the other hand, were not in favour of extending the movement beyond Bengal and were totally opposed to boycott of councils and similar associations. They advocated strictly constitutional methods to protest against the partition of Bengal. As a compromise, a relatively mild resolution condemning the partition of Bengal and the reactionary policies of Curzon and supporting the Swadeshi and boycott programme in Bengal was passed. This succeeded in averting a split for the moment.
