Question 1 of 5
1. Question
What was the immediate reason for Tilak and Annie Beasant to start Home Rule movement
Correct
Answer – a
- In 1914, Annie Beasant decided to enlarge the sphere of her activities to include the building of a movement for Home Rule on the lines of the Irish Home Rule League. For this, she realized it was necessary both to get the sanction of the Congress, as well as the active cooperation of the Extremists. She devoted her energies, therefore, to persuading the Moderate leaders to open the doors of the Congress to Tilak and his fellow-Extremists.
- But the annual Congress session in December 1914 was to prove a disappointment – Pherozeshah Mehta and his Bombay Moderate group succeeded, by winning over Gokhale and the Bengal Moderates, in keeping out the Extremists. Tilak and Besant thereupon decided to revive political activity on their own, while maintaining their pressure on the Congress to re-admit the Extremist group. She had inserted a condition by which, if the Congress did not start this activity by September 1916, she would be free to set up her own League.
