Question

How was the politics of the Radicals within the Congress different from that of the Moderates ?

Answer 1

The moderates sought to increase the involvement of Indians in the governance of India while remaining within the British empire. They sought to achieve their objectives by sending petitions and requests to the government. They also wrote in newspapers and books about their demands to create public opinion in their favour.

On the other hand, the radicals sought independence from British rule. They sought to achieve their objective by launching agitations and public protests against the British. They were even willing to use violence against the British to achieve their objective.
