Explanation

The Swadeshi movement (1905–1911) utilized diverse methods of mass mobilization. Samitis, such as the Swadesh Bandhab Samiti of Ashwini Kumar Dutta, became powerful tools for political consciousness through lectures, social work, and training [2]. Mass mobilization also extended to the working class, marked by labour strikes in various sectors [3]. A core pillar was 'constructive Swadeshi' or 'Atmashakti' (self-help), which advocated for national self-reliance through indigenous enterprises and village improvement [4]. In the sphere of education, the movement rejected government-controlled institutions, leading to the establishment of national schools and colleges. Notable examples include the National Council of Education (1905) and the Bengal National College (1906). These elements collectively transformed the character of the Indian national movement by broadening its social base and introducing radical methods of agitation.
