Answer 1

Answer:

Differences Moderates and Extremists

Moderates

Extremists

Moderates believed in Liberalism and Moderate Politics. They believed that the British rulers were merely unaware of the plight of the Indian masses and that once they were made aware the British authorities would do their utmost to improve the lives of the local populace. The Extremist leaders firmly believed that the British had no interest of the Indian people in mind. It was evident from the lacklustre response from the authorities during a plague or famine

The moderates found their support base in the Zamindars and the upper-middle-class The extremists found their support bases among the educated middle-class and lower classes

Moderates wanted greater autonomy and self-rule while still under the nominal rule of the British crown Extremists wanted completed independence from British rule

Moderates limited their struggle to constitutional means Extremists often used extra-constitutional methods often during their activities

Prayer, Petition, Persuasion, and Philanthropy. Their demands were constitutional, and so was their agitation. Their methods were regarded as ‘Passive Resistance’. Extremists were radical in terms of their approach, and believed in militant methods including but not limited to the assassination of key personnel.

Answer 2

Moderates and Extremists: India’s struggle for freedom was a long process. It could not have been achieved without the contribution of different leaders that carried on the struggle throughout the years. Nationalists arose because of colonial practices and as a reaction to colonial practices. While Britishers brought modernization to India, certain policies received harsh criticism. India had its renaissance, worldwide revolutions and the concept of nationalism paved the way for two types of nationalists: Extremists and Moderates.
