Solution
Formulation of popular demands to be presented before the government.
Explanation:
The Early Nationalists (the Moderates) sought constitutional, peaceful reform, a larger share for Indians in government and specific demands (e.g., expansion of legislative councils, Indian representation in executive councils, reductions in land revenue, civil liberties) which they pressed through petitions, memoranda, the press, deputations to Britain and “Petitions, Prayers and Protests.” They did not call for immediate eradication of British rule or a violent struggle, nor were they primarily an organised workers’‑equality movement.
