Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The nationalists were wide awake to the fact that instead of giving more rights to the Indians, the government was taking away even the existing ones. The Indian Councils Act was criticised by nationalists as it failed to satisfy them. Hence, having seen that the British government was not conceding any of their important demands, the more militant among those politically conscious got disillusioned and started looking for a more effective mode of political action.

Statement 2 is correct: The younger elements within the Congress were dissatisfied with the achievements of the Moderates during the first 15- 20 years. They were strongly critical of the methods of peaceful and constitutional agitation, popularly known as the “Three ‘P’s”—prayer, petition and protest—and described these methods as ‘political mendicancy’.

Statement 3 is correct. International Influences was one of the factors that contributed to the rise of militant nationalism in India. The Boer wars (1899- 1902) where the British faced reverses demolished myths of European invincibility. The Indians realised that united people willing to make sacrifices could take on the mightiest of empires.

Statement 4 is incorrect: A sharp reaction was created in the Indian mind by Curzon’s seven-year rule in India which was full of missions, commissions and omissions. Lord Lytton served as Viceroy of India between 1876 and 1880.
