Q102 (IAS/2002) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Early national politics Answer Verified

With reference to the period of extremist nationalist movement in India with its spirit of Swadeshi, which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 because it is a factually incorrect statement regarding the Swadeshi movement.

While Liakat Hossain was indeed a prominent Muslim leader of the Swadeshi movement in Calcutta, he primarily focused on mobilizing urban youth and workers. The peasant agitations in Barisal were actually led by Ashwini Kumar Dutt, who wielded immense influence in the region through the Swadesh Bandhab Samiti. Although Hossain supported the cause, attributing the Barisal peasant leadership to him is historically inaccurate.

Other options are correct facts of the period:

  • Satish Chandra Mukherjee formulated the scheme of national education through the Dawn Society.
  • Bengal National College was established in 1906 with Aurobindo Ghosh as its first Principal.
  • Rabindranath Tagore advocated for Atmasakti (self-reliance), emphasizing village reconstruction and social reform as the foundation of the national movement.
