Answer:
Some countries like Canada, Australia, South Africa, Newfoundland, and New Zealand, which were self-governing under British rule, influenced Indian leaders. Leaders such as Tilak, Subramania Iyer, and Annie Besant agreed to form a national league to demand home rule, and thus the home rule movement was born. As a result, two home rule leagues were formed.
Explanation:
- Tilak founded a home rule league in Pune in December 1915. 'Swaraj is my birth right, and I shall have it,' Tilak declared. Tilak founded the Maharashtra Home Rule League in Maharashtra, the Central Provinces, Karnataka, and the Berar region.
- Theosophist Annie Besant adopted India and struggled for its emancipation. In September 1916, she founded the Home Rule League in Adayar, Madras, after being inspired by the Irish Home Rule Movement.
- At Allahabad, Jawaharlal Nehru joined the league. The leagues started a movement for the social, educational, and religious regeneration of Indians with the help of the moderates and the INC.
- It spread throughout the interior of Sindh, Punjab, Gujarat, Bihar, and Orissa, among other places. The league's leaders believed that it improved the conditions of Indians, therefore they travelled around the country to popularise the demand for home rule.
- The All India Home Rule League was renamed Swarajya Sabha in 1921.
