- RESPONSES
- Congress was reluctant to
demand something as big
as Home rule even though
people joined Home Rule
leagues in great numbers -
including 2 future national
leaders Nehru + Jinnah
- Other Indian groups also resistant -
especially Muslims and lower-caste
Hindus who thought government would
entrench Brahmin Hindu dominance
- Viewed British as more
as protecting their
interests
- British finally calmed agitation
caused by Partition of Bengal
by reuniting it in 1911 + liked
tame approach of the
moderate-controlled congress
- One official reported "moderate
leaders can command no
support among the vocal
classes who are being led at the
heels of Tilak and Besant"
- Orders given for swift arrest of Home
Rule campaigners whenever possible +
students forbidden to hold meetings
where Home Rule might be discussed
- Tilak arrested and required
to put up 4,000 rupees as
surety of good behaviour.
