Question

The split between the Moderates and the Radicals took place in the Congress session of
A.Belgaum
B.Kolkata
C.Surat
D.Bombay

Answer 1

Hint: The Surat split was a triumph of the British arrangement of Divide and Rule, and after quite a while, the British accepted that they were in charge of the undertakings of the conservatives over the INC.
-The split occurred in the year 1907 in a city located in Gujarat. It is also known as “The Silk City” or “The Diamond City”.

Complete answer:
-Moderates reckoned in Liberalism and Moderate Politics. They thought that the British authorities were simply ignorant of the hardship of the Indian population and that once they were made conscious, the British administrations would do their most to enhance the lives of the people.
-The Radical leaders truly understood that the British had no concern for the Indian people. It was apparent from the lackluster reaction from the authorities during an epidemic or scarcity.
Let us review the options and discuss the answer
Option A. Belgaum INC session took place in 1924 and it was the main meeting led by Gandhi where he launched the 'Non-Cooperation Movement’' as a way to achieve political opportunity. This option is incorrect as the split took place in 1907.

Option B. Second session was held at Kolkata in 1886. This option is incorrect as around that time the voice and ideas of the Radicals did not emerge.

Option C. In 1907, Surat Session: The two primary targets set by the radicals were that-
1. Demand the goal of Swaraj
2. Lala Lajpat Rai to be made the President of the INC
-These two requests were not satisfactory to the conservatives. Hence, rather than Lala Lajpat Rai, the conservatives upheld the possibility of Rash Behari Ghosh as the President. This was the first occasion when there was to be a political race in the INC for the role of President. In the middle of the political race, the radicals were removed from the INC, and the conservatives had total order over the illicit relationships of the INC. Rash Behari Ghosh turned into the President of the Surat meeting. All this created a rift between the two groups and caused the split.
Hence, it is the correct option.

Option D. First Session was held at Bombay in 1885. This option is incorrect as around that time only the Moderates were there to voice their opinions.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:In 1909: Separate electorates were conceded to the Muslim people group during when the Congress was at its most reduced number.
-In 1916, the Extremists and Moderates reunited with the Congress in the Lucknow meeting, accordingly there was just a philosophical contrast between the radicals and the conservatives and not a division of all things considered.
