उत्तर
The Early Nationalists played an important role in revealing the true nature of British rule in India through the following ways:
- Dadabhai Naoroji, in his book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India, explained his famous Drain Theory, showing how India’s wealth was being drained to England in various ways.
- Under Dadabhai’s leadership, the Congress passed resolutions on Self-government, Boycott, Swadeshi and National Education. The Early Nationalists criticised British rule through newspapers, journals and magazines, writing against the unjust policies of the British.
- Surendranath Banerjee led agitations against the License Act, Arms Act, and Vernacular Press Act, which were meant to suppress nationalist activities. His efforts made people aware of the colonial mindset of the British.
