Give two points on which the Early Nationalists are criticised.

Two points upon which the Early Nationalists are criticised are:

1. They were too moderate and petition oriented. Their method of peaceful constitutional agitation was strongly criticised.
2. They were loyal to the Crown. They believed that India's problems were due to the ignorance of the British authorities rather than deliberate exploitation. This over-dependence on British fairness limited the effectiveness of their demands.
