Answer
The government took the following repressive measures to suppress the Assertive Nationalists after the Surat Split:
- Since the movement for boycott of British goods was gaining ground, the Government launched a campaign of repression.
- Bal Gangadhar Tilak was lodged in Myanmar's Mandalay prison.
- Under the Seditious Meetings Act of 1907, the District Magistrates could prohibit the holding of meetings.
- The Newspapers Act of 1908 was aimed at punishing those editors whose papers contained writings against British rule.
- Rajani Palme Dutt says, "Police action was carried out with great vigour…school-children were arrested for singing national songs."
- Such measures failed to arrest the nationalist movement. On the contrary, there grew up revolutionary groups in Bengal and Punjab.
