Question
Explain the major ideological differences which emerged amongst the leaders within the first twenty years of the foundation of this organization.
Solution
The liberal nationalists did not believe in agitation or unconstitutional means. The Moderates carried their agitation through:
(i) Petitions to high Government officials.
(ii) Resolutions.
(iii) Meetings in towns, cities and the countryside.
(iv) Distribution of leaflets and pamphlets.
(v) Preparing memorandum for the Government Committees, and
(vi) Delegations of leading politicians to England. The memorandum or petitions were nominally addressed to the government. They merely wanted to mitigate the evils of British rule and not to terminate it.
