Who were dissatisfied with the achievements of the Early Nationalists?
The correct option is A The younger elements within the Congress.
The methods
used by the Early Nationalists of passing resolutions and sending petitions
were seen as inadequate by critics who argued that they depended on the
generosity of the British instead of relying on their own strength and
challenging the imperialist might. They failed to realise that British and
Indian interests clashed with each other and that Britain was using India's
resources to increase its wealth. The Early Nationalists failed to draw the
masses into the mainstream of the national movement such that their area of
influence remained limited to urban educated Indians. In particular, their
leadership comprised only members of professional groups such as lawyers,
doctors, journalists and teachers.
