Question
Who were Assertive Nationalists? Why were they so called?
Solution
The period from 1905 to 1918 saw the rise of a new group of leaders within the Congress known as Assertive Nationalists. They advocated for complete Swaraj (self-rule) and promoted aggressive political methods such as the boycott of British goods, government services, and titles to achieve their goal.
They were called Assertive because they believed in actively resisting British rule. They strongly criticised British rule in India and blamed it for the country's decline.
