Answer 1

Surat Split:
⇒In December 1906, at Kolkata, the Indian National Congress under the           leadership of Dadabhai Naoroji adopted 'Swaraj' as the goal of the Indian       people.
⇒The Assertive Nationalists wanted to extend the Swadeshi and Boycott to        the rest of India and make it a vehicle for a full fledged political mass              struggle leading to Swaraj, but the Moderates did not approve it for the          whole of India and wanted it be continued only in Bengal.
⇒ In the year 1907, the annual session of the congress was held in Surat.          Assertive Nationalists wanted to adopt revolutionary methods as                    announced by them, but the Moderates were not in favour of such                  methods.
⇒The INC split into two groups at the Surat session, the Extremists were led      by Tilak, Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal and the Moderates were led by      Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
⇒The Extremist Nationalists proposed the name of Lala Lajpat Rai as the          president of the Surat session whereas the Early Nationalists proposed          the name of Ras Bihari Ghosh. Finally, the Extremist Nationalists were            expelled from the congress.
