Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer is (b) the anti-Bengal partition agitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Swadeshi movement in India was a part of the Indian independence movement that aimed to promote indigenous industries and products as a means of opposing British colonial rule and stimulating the Indian economy. It started as a response to the British government’s decision to partition Bengal in 1905. The partition was seen as a divisive tactic aimed at weakening the growing nationalist movement in Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The anti-Bengal partition agitation gained momentum and became a focal point for the Swadeshi movement. It involved various forms of protest, including boycotts of British goods, promotion of Indian-made products, and public demonstrations. The movement garnered widespread support and played a significant role in fostering a sense of national identity and unity among Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although other events and movements such as the Champaran satyagraha, the protest against the Rowlatt Act, and the Non-Cooperation Movement were important episodes in India’s struggle for independence, they were distinct from the Swadeshi movement, which primarily emerged in response to the Bengal partition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
