The Assertive Nationalists

- They stood for complete Swaraj, to be achieved by self-reliant methods, and sought a mass-base for their movement.
- This group was called the Assertive Nationalists due to their outlook, which advocated active resistance to British imperialism.
- They condemned British rule in India, holding it responsible for the country's downfall, and called upon Indians to make sacrifices for their country.
Causes of Assertive Nationalism
