Explanation:

The Swadeshi Movement had its genesis in the anti-partition movement which was started to oppose the British decision to partition Bengal. The resolution of Swadeshi was adopted in 1906 Calcutta session of  the Indian National Congress. This session was presided by Dadabhai Naoroji. Prior to this, in Banaras 1905 session, a resolution of boycott of British goods was put forward. However, it was 1906 session at Calcutta in which four resolutions on self-government, boycott movement, Swadeshi and national education were passed by the Congress, the Extremists gave a call for passive resistance in addition to swadeshi and boycott which would include a boycott of government schools and colleges, government
service, courts, legislative councils, municipalities, government titles, etc.

Steps included the boycott of British goods like Liverpool salt, Manchester cloth etc. The protest against British goods led to the dropping of British textile five to fifteen times, refusal by priests to ritualize marriages involving the exchange of foreign goods, refusal by washermen to wash foreign clothes. This form of protest met with great success at the practical and popular level.

However, the most important aspect of the movement was a focus on self-reliance or Atma-shakti which led to the development of indigenous industries and nationalistic institutes like Bengal National College founded by Aurobindo Ghosh, Bengal Technical Institute, National Council of Education. Funds the were also raised to send students Japan for advanced learning.

It was decided to annul the partition of Bengal in 1911 mainly to curb the menace of revolutionary terrorism.
