The National Movement: The First Phase, till 1918 deals with popular resistance to colonial rule, a special position being given to the Rebel of 1857–58, its nature and legacy; the upward thrust of national consciousness, and the criteria leading to it; the movement for social reform and political awakening some of the middle classes. It examines the critique of British rule by early economic nationalists in addition to the root (in 1885), and development as a political party, of the Indian National Congress. It considers the upward thrust of the Extremists (as against Moderates), describes the upward thrust of communalism and the Partition of Bengal (1905), the opposition to it and the rift throughout the Congress, the upward thrust of violence and the Ghadar movement (1913–15). It also considers the effect of British measures of 1909 and 1911 at the National Movement, the Congress–Muslim League Pact of 1916, the Home Rule Movement, and, in the end, Gandhiji’s arrival and the agitations of 1917–18.
