Question

If you were a British merchant selling British goods in India, how would the Swadeshi Movement have affected you.

Answer 1

it's affects both mentally and physically.

Answer 2

Swadeshi means self. In 1905, when Britishers ruled India, then the Viceroy, Lord Curzon declared the partition of Bengal into East and West Bengal.

To oppose this declaration, citizens of India brought the Swadeshi Movement, where they boycotted the British goods.

If I were a British merchant selling British goods in India, then this Swadeshi Movement would have adversely affected my income.

All the pain of bringing goods to India and the money went into the shipping; all would have collaborated up to a major loss.
