About this document

Overview of the Swadeshi Movement by anahata2014 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The Swadeshi Movement began in Bengal in 1903 in response to the British partition of Bengal. It involved boycotting British goods and using only domestic Indian products. People burned imported goods in bonfires as a form of protest. The movement promoted indigenous Indian industry and self-sufficiency. It later expanded beyond economics into calls for social and political non-cooperation with the British. Students played a role in promoting boycotts, facing punishment from the British authorities.
