Answer
(a) Boycott aimed at avoiding the use of British made goods, encouraging indigenous industries and providing job opportunities to the Indians. It also was the most effective weapon for harming British trade in India.
(b) A national scheme of education was planned to replace the government controlled universities and colleges. The Assertive/ Radical Nationalists tried to bring students into their fold. When the government threatened to take disciplinary action, a large number of national schools were set up in East Bengal. Efforts were made to give national orientation to education in vernacular languages.
(c) The Assertive/ Radical Nationalist leaders believed in Passive Resistance i.e. in policy of non-violent yet vigorous political action to achieve their goals. They asked the people to refuse to co-operate with the government and boycott government schools, colleges, courts and services. They advocated courage and a spirit of self sacrifice to achieve Swaraj.
