To promote British goods in India
Correct Answer:
B. To attain complete independence (Swaraj)
Explanation:
The primary objective of the Extremists during the Indian National Movement was the attainment of Swaraj, or complete independence and absolute autonomy from British rule. Unlike the Moderates, who sought gradual constitutional reforms and increased representation within the existing colonial framework, the Extremists advocated for direct action and self-reliance. They utilized radical methods such as the boycott of British goods, the promotion of Swadeshi (indigenous products), and the establishment of national education systems to challenge the economic and cultural foundations of British power. Led by figures like Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Bipin Chandra Pal, the faction aimed to mobilize the masses and instill a sense of national pride and self-respect to end foreign domination entirely.
