The ‘Swadeshi’ and ‘Boycott’ movements were adopted as methods of struggle for the first time on a significant scale during the agitation against the Partition of Bengal in 1905. The call for boycotting British goods and promoting Indian (Swadeshi) goods became a central strategy of this movement.
The Partition of Bengal (1905) sparked widespread protests and led to the adoption of Swadeshi and Boycott as major tactics to resist British rule.
