Explanation:

Extremists wanted to extend the movement to rest of India and beyond the programme of just Swadeshi and Boycott to fully fledged mass struggle with aim of Swaraj but Moderates were not ready for it. The social boycott was an outcome of economic swadeshi movement. It was preached to go against the repressive measures of the Government. The social boycott was a very powerful weapon. The boycott of foreign goods led to the increase in demand of indigenous goods especially clothes which fell short of supply. Herry John Stedman Cotton had opposed the idea of partition of Bengal.
