Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following are the major causes for Moderate-Extremist Split at Surat (1907)?
- Moderates wanted to restrict the Boycott Movement to Bengal, whereas Extremists wanted to take the movement to all parts of the country.
- The Extremists wanted the 1907 session to be held in Surat with Tilak or Lajpat Rai as the president, whereas Moderates wanted the session to be held at Nagpur with Rashbehari Ghosh as the president.
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: a)
Surat Split:
The Extremists wanted the 1907 session to be held in Nagpur (Central Provinces) with Tilak or Lajpat Rai as the president along with a reiteration of the swadeshi, boycott and national education resolutions. The Moderates wanted the session at Surat in order to exclude Tilak from the presidency, since a leader from the host province could not be session president (Surat being in Tilak’s home province of Bombay). Instead, they wanted Rashbehari Ghosh as the president and sought to drop the resolutions on swadeshi, boycott and national education. Both sides adopted rigid positions, leaving no room for compromise and the split became inevitable.
Major Cause of Moderate-Extremist Split at Surat (1907)
- Moderates wanted to restrict the Boycott Movement to Bengal and to a boycott of foreign cloth and liquor.
- Extremists wanted to take the movement to all parts of the country and include within its ambit all forms of association with the government through a boycott of schools, colleges, law courts, legislative councils, government service, municipalities, etc.
