Key Points

The Swadeshi Movement had the strongest impact on the people of Bengal.
The movement was a boycott of British goods and a promotion of Indian-made goods.
It was started in 1905 in response to the British decision to partition Bengal.
The movement was led by Bengali intellectuals and students, and it quickly spread throughout the province.

The Swadeshi Movement had a number of important impacts on the people of Bengal. First, it helped to raise national consciousness and to create a sense of unity among Bengalis. Second, it helped to develop a sense of economic self-reliance among Bengalis. Third, it helped to create a new generation of political leaders who would later play a leading role in the Indian independence movement. Additional Information Option Region Kashmir The Swadeshi Movement had a limited impact in Kashmir. This was due to a number of factors, including the region's remote location, its Muslim majority, and the strong influence of the Maharaja. Berar The Swadeshi Movement had a small impact in Berar. This was due to the region's small population and its distance from the centers of the movement. United Provinces The Swadeshi Movement had a moderate impact in the United Provinces. This was due to the region's large population and its proximity to the centers of the movement. Important Points Swadeshi Movement The movement had its roots in the anti-partition movement which was started to oppose Lord Curzon’s decision of dividing the province of Bengal. The Anti-Partition Campaign was launched by Moderates to exert pressure on the government to prevent the unjust partition of Bengal from being implemented. In the 1906 Congress Session held at Calcutta, the INC under the presidentship of Dadabhai Naoroji declared self-government or Swaraj as the goal of INC. The Extremists (or the Garam Dal) gained a dominant influence over the Swadeshi Movement in Bengal after 1905 till 1908. School and college students were the most active participants of the movement. Traditionally home-centered women too took active part in the movement. By 1908, the Swadeshi Movement was almost over in an open phase due to government’s violent repression.
