What are the difference between the moderates and extremists &achievement &objective

Answer 1

'Moderates' :-

The Early Nationalists, also known as the Moderates, were a group of political leaders in India active between 1885 and 1905. Their emergence marked the beginning of the organised national movement in India. With members of the group drawn from educated middle-class professionals including lawyers, teachers and government officials, many of them were educated in England. They have become known as "Early Nationalists" because they believed in demanding reforms while adopting constitutional and peaceful means to achieve their aims. The Early Nationalists had full faith in the British sense of justice, fair play, honesty, and integrity while they believed that British rule was a boon for India. The Early Nationalists were staunch believers in open-minded and moderate politics.

'Extremists' :-

Assertive (Extremists/Aggressive) 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.
