Solution
Following are the two causes for the rise of Assertive Nationalism:
- Many leaders within the Indian National Congress had become frustrated with the British authorities. They had realised that the so-called British idea of ‘justice’ and ‘fairplay’ was nothing but colonial propaganda and that the British never intended to devolve any power to the Indians
- The Early Nationalists had failed to achieve anything concrete. They insisted on constitutional agitation and refused to do anything when faced with government apathy and suppression, clinging to their belief in the British sense of justice. As a result, the young emerging leadership within the Congress, i.e., the Assertive Nationalists, had become frustrated with them.
