Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: B
Notes:
The Indian National Congress, meeting in 1905 under the presidentship of Gokhale, resolved to
- condemn the partition of Bengal and the reactionary policies of Curzon, and
- support the anti-partition and Swadeshi Movement of Bengal.
The militant nationalists led by Tilak, Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal and Aurobindo Ghosh wanted the movement to be taken outside Bengal to other parts of the country and go beyond a boycott of foreign goods to become a full fledged political mass struggle with the goal of attaining swaraj.
But the Moderates, dominating the Congress at that time, were not willing to go that far.
