The congress was divided into two camps-Extremist and Moderates at the Surat session of 1907. The Moderates believed in the constitutional methods of protests like petitions, prayers, meetings,etc. Extremists, on the other hand, believed in agitation, strikes and boycotts to force their demands. Some of the extremist leaders were Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Bipin Chandra Pal, Aurobindo Ghosem Rajnarayan Bose and  Ashwini Kumar Dutt.

The  British Indian Association was formed on 31 October 1851. The President of the first committee of this organization was Raja Radhakanta Deb, while Debendranath Tagore was its secretary. Its establishment meant Indians had come together and could no longer be ignored.

The  Indian Association was formed in Bengal in 1876 by Surendranath Banerjea and Ananda Mohan Bose. It was a nationalist political group in India that favoured local self-government and tenant rights, and when the Bengal Tenancy Act was finally passed in 1885, it demanded representative government. The association gradually lost ground after the Indian National Congress was founded in 1885.

Assertive Nationalism was inspired by the following international events:

• For the first time, Japan, an Asian country, defeated Russia.
• Italian forces were defeated by the Abyssinians in Ethiopia.
• In South Africa, the Boers fought for three years (1899-1902) against the British Empire.
• In Ireland people were waging a full scale Home Rule agitation.
• These myths broke the invincibility of the Europeans. The assertive nationalists felt that a united people could throw out the British yoke.

The Early Nationalists leaders who led the Congress and the National Movement from 1885 to 1905 were staunch believers in open minded and moderate politics. They believed in loyalty to the British Crown. B.C. Pal, then a moderate leader, said in 1887, “I am loyal to theBritish Government because with me loyalty to the British Government is identical with loyalty to my own people and my own country… I am loyal to the British Government, because I love self – government.

• Swadeshi: Swadeshi means producing necessary items in one’s own country and using them for one’s use without being dependent on imported goods. The Swadeshi idea was popularised by occasional bonfires of foreign cloth, salt and sugar.
• Boycott: Economic boycott of British goods and the use of Swadeshi was designed to encourage Indian Industries and provide people with more opportunities for employment.
• Passive Resistance: They asked the people to refuse to cooperate with the government and to boycott government service, courts, schools and colleges. They advocated courage, self-confidence and a spirit of sacrifice to achieve their goal of Swaraj.

Self-reliance was promoted by setting up Swadeshi stores that sold Indian made goods. Jamshedji Tata established Iron and Steel industry despite the fact that the industry had a long gestation period. Bengal Chemical Workes was set up during this phase. Even Rabindranath Tagore set up a Swadeshi Bhandar.
