Explanation

The Swadeshi movement, triggered by the 1905 Partition of Bengal, saw massive demonstrations across the province [4]. On August 7, 1905, a historic meeting at Calcutta's Town Hall formally initiated the movement with a boycott resolution [2]. On the day partition took effect, October 16, 1905, a general hartal was observed in Calcutta; people fasted, walked barefoot to the Ganga, and sang patriotic songs [4]. The movement's leadership followed a distinct evolution: it was initially launched by Moderates like Surendranath Banerjea and K.K. Mitra using petitions and public meetings [2]. However, as the struggle intensified, militant and revolutionary nationalists like Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, and Aurobindo Ghosh took over, introducing radical methods like passive resistance and direct action [4]. Thus, all three statements accurately describe the movement's dynamics and historical progression.
