Question

What were the objectives of swadeshi and boycott movement

Answer 1

Boycott means the policy of refusal-refusal to buy foreign, particularly British goods. The idea of boycott of British goods in protest the Partition of Bengal was first preached by Krishna Kumar Mitra in his Bengali weekly named Sanjibani (13 July, 1905 edition.)

Besides, the residents of Bagerhat, in Khulna district in present Bangladesh, the public meeting held on 17 July, 1905 resolved that they would refrain from purchasing British goods till the annulment of the partition.
