write short note on Swadeshi Andolan .
Answers
Answer:
Swadeshi movement was a part of the Indian national movement. It aimed at achieving the Indian independence by striking at the economic interests of the British Empire. It was an economic strategy which involved the boycott of foreign goods and use of home goods manufactured in India.
Answer:
In August 1905, at Calcutta Townhall, a massive meeting was held and the formal proclamation of the Swadeshi Movement was made.
The message was propagated to boycott goods such as Manchester cloth and Liverpool salt.
After the partition came into force, widespread opposition was shown by the people of Bengal by singing Vande Mataram.
Rabindranath Tagore also composed Amar Sonar Bangla. People tied Rakhis on each other’s hands as a symbol of unity. Although the movement was confined majorly to Bengal, it spread to a few different parts of India:
In Poona and Bombay under Bal Gangadhar Tilak
In Punjab under Lala Lajpat Rai and Ajit Singh
In Delhi under Syed Haider Raza
In Madras under Chidambaram Pillai.
