Solution
Large crowds at meetings took the oath of Swadeshi. Swadeshi brought into politics a new class of people without any distinction of class or creed. It taught the press to be fearless, Hindus and Muslims to co-operate, students to defy unjust authority and to make sacrifices of their lives for the sake of their country. In this manner the idea of Swadeshi helped Indians to be united against the British.
