Explanation:

The initial phase (1885-1905) of the Indian national movement is seen as a period of moderate leadership due to the moderate and liberal ways in which they protested. The moderates believed in the British sense of justice and thus followed what is known as the 3 Ps strategy of constitutional prayers, petitions and protests.

The leaders who believed in such a strategy were Pherozeshah Mehta and Dadabhay Naoroji Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Mohammad Ali Jinnah and others.

At the beginning of the 20th century, however, a new trend emerged in the national movement, which was more radical and believed in extra-constitutional struggle and passive resistance strategies such as Boycott. Leaders of this trend were called extremists, including the Swadeshi movement trio Bipan Chandra Pal, Lokmanya Tilak and Lala Lajpat Rai.

Further in the second decade of the 20th century, Mahatma Gandhi gave a new way of fighting in the form of non-violent satyagraha and non-cooperation.
