\nThe statement “It enlisted the support of the Muslim masses” is not true about the Swadeshi movement.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile the Swadeshi movement had a broad base of support among various sections of Indian society, including students, women, and the middle class, it largely failed to secure widespread support from the Muslim masses. Several factors contributed to this, including the active opposition by some Muslim leaders (like Nawab Salimullah of Dhaka who supported the partition of Bengal), the formation of the Muslim League in 1906 which focused on separate political identity, and the movement’s use of Hindu religious symbols by some leaders, which alienated some Muslims.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) It had a wider popular appeal than any other political agitation that preceded it: This is largely true, as it involved large-scale boycotts, protests, and participation across different social strata compared to earlier, more limited agitations.
\nC) It had an economic character: This is correct. A key aspect was the boycott of British goods and promotion of Indian industries and goods (Swadeshi) to economically pressure the British.
\nD) The Swadeshi movement was supported by a section of the radical press in England: This is correct. Some liberal and radical voices in Britain were critical of imperial policies and sympathetic to Indian nationalist aspirations.
