Differentiate between extremists and moderates
Explanation:
Lokmanya Tilak was an extremist who opposed moderate ways and views and had a more radical and aggressive stance against British rule.
Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Ferozshah Mehta, and Surendranath Banerjee were all moderate leaders.
Moderates believed that the British rulers were merely unaware of the plight of the Indian masses and that once they were made aware, the British authorities would do their utmost to improve the lives of the local populace.
In contrast, extremist leaders firmly believed that the British had no interest in the Indian people.
