Explanation:

The Swadeshi and Boycott movement began as an agitation to oppose the Bengal partition, which later turned into a mass movement throughout the country. At Calcutta (1906) under the presidentship of Dadabhai Naoroji, it was declared that the goal of the Indian National Congress was “self-government or swaraj like the United Kingdom or the colonies” of Australia or Canada. Emboldened by Dadabhai Naoroji’s declaration at the Calcutta session (1906), the Extremists gave a call for passive resistance in addition to swadeshi and boycott of foreign goods.

Statement 1 is correct. The militant nationalists tried to transform the anti-partition and Swadeshi Movement into a mass struggle and gave the slogan of India’s independence from foreign rule. “Political freedom is the life-breath of a nation,” declared Aurobindo. Thus, the Extremists gave the idea of India’s independence as the centrepiece of India’s politics. The goal of independence was to be achieved through self-sacrifice.

Statement 2 is correct. Samitis such as the Swadesh Bandhab Samiti of Ashwini Kumar Dutta (in Barisal) emerged as a very popular and powerful means of mass mobilisation. These samitis generated political consciousness among the masses through magic lantern lectures, swadeshi songs, providing physical and moral training to their members, social work during famines and epidemics, organisation of schools, training in swadeshi crafts and arbitration courts.

Statement 3 is correct. Self-reliance or ‘atma shakti’ was encouraged. This implied re-assertion of national dignity, honour and confidence and social and economic regeneration of the villages. In practical terms, it included social reform and campaigns against caste oppression, early marriage, dowry system, consumption of alcohol, etc.

The formal proclamation of Swadeshi Movement was made on 7th August 1905 in a meeting held at the Calcutta Town Hall. In the meeting, the famous Boycott Resolution was passed.
The Congress Session of 1905- The session took place at Banaras. Gopal Krishna Gokhale took up Swadeshi Movement.
The Congress Session of 1906- The session took place at Calcutta under the presidentship of Dadabhai Naoroji.
