The Making of the National Movement: 1870s

Question

How was the politics of the Radicals within the Congress different from that of the Moderates?

Answer

The Radicals within the Congress criticised the Moderates for their ‘politics of prayers’ and gave emphasis on self-reliance and constructive work.

They argued that people must rely on their own strength, not on the “good” intentions of the government; people must fight for swaraj.
