Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Swadeshi Movement (1905–1908) was a reaction to the Partition of Bengal. It had two main facets: constructive self-reliance and political struggle.

  • Statements 1 and 2 are core features. The movement emphasized Atmashakti (self-help) through the promotion of indigenous industries and national schools. Rabindranath Tagore's 1904 address, Swadeshi Samaj, provided the blueprint for this social and economic regeneration.
  • Statement 3 is often considered "not" a feature in a narrow sense because leaders like Aurobindo Ghosh argued that Swaraj (political independence) was a prerequisite for successful Swadeshi. His call for radical measures like passive resistance shifted the focus from the movement's original constructive/educational goals to a broader political struggle.
  • Statement 4 is factually incorrect. Bhagat Singh (born 1907) was a child during this period and only became active in the 1920s.

Given that Statement 4 is definitely not a feature, Option C is the most appropriate choice.
