Answer:
The Swadeshi movement was in protest of the Government’s decision to partition Bengal had been made public in July 1905. It called for boycott of all British goods and buy Indian products only. This inculcated a feeling of self-reliance by reducing the dependence on foreign goods.
The movement also increased the demand for national education and numerous national schools and colleges came up in various parts. Different sections of society came out in large numbers to propagate and practice swadeshi which served in inculcating a national spirit among the population.

Explanation:
As many as 75% of all bus passengers in Montgomery were African American in 1955. If they ceased using the bus system, it would cost National City Lines dearly in revenue. Rosa Parks' arrest sparked the African American community to boycott the bus system on the day of her court appearance the following Monday.
Monday dawned, and black riders were scarce. To get to work, they walked long distances, rode mules, or drove horse-drawn wagons. A few rode in taxicabs operated by black drivers. Their absence was felt on the bus lines, and by Monday evening it was clear that this couldn't be just a one-time protest. The city officials had ignored the protest, believing it would blow over.
However, they were wrong. The night of the protest, a relatively unknown minister by the name of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was chosen to lead a new Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). He was tasked with turning the short protest into a major boycott that would ultimately last a total of 381 days, and that boycott spurred an important chapter in the Civil Rights Movement.
