Question

Objectives of assertive nationalist

Answer 1

Assertive(Extremists/Aggressive/Later) Nationalism was the period(1905–1918) in success to Early Nationalists or Moderates. The Early Nationalists failed to attain their objectives, giving rise to this kind of Nationalism. The Last and final years of the nineteenth century saw a radical sensibility emerge among some Indian intellectuals like Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal (Lal,Bal,Pal). They all were together known Assertive Nationalists. 

They rejected the former notions of the moderates of prayers, petitions and pleas. Instead, they began adopting aggressive measures like Swadeshi and Boycott for gaining freedom from the British rule in India.
