Answer: a)The Assertive Nationalists advocated the adoption of European revolutionary methods to meet British imperialism. The failure of the early nationalists to get something substantial from the British government led to the demand for more vigorous political action using a radical approach.
b)I don't know.
c)Lord Curzon's seven year rule in India was full of repressive measures. He refused to recognise India as a nation. He was not in favour of giving freedom to India because he believed that the English were destined to rule over India. Therefore, he took several repressive measures to crush India Nationalism. These measures included:
1.The Act of 1898 which made it an offence to provoke people against the English
2.The Calcutta Corporation act (1899) which reduced the strength of elected members from India, thereby giving British a majority
3.The Indian Universities Act of 1904 which imposed strict official control over the Indian universities because Curzon considered them as the centers of nationalism.
