Following are five important achievements of the Assertive Nationalists”

  1. The Assertive Nationalists were able to inculcate national pride by extolling India’s past. Tilak restarted the Ganapati and Shivaji festivals to arouse national feelings. He also preached nationalist ideas through his articles in the newspapers ‘Kesari’ and ‘Mahratta’.
  2. The Assertive Nationalist popularised new slogans among the masses like ‘non-cooperation’, ‘passive resistance’, ‘mass agitation’ and ‘self reliance’.
  3. The Assertive Nationalists propagated their ideology through local languages. This ensured that their message was disseminated to a very large number of Indians.
  4. They fearlessly declared that India needed complete independence from British yoke in order to realise her potential.
  5. The Assertive Nationalists laid the foundation of many new national education institutions during the course of the Swadeshi movement. The National Council of Education was set up in the year 1906. It later transformed into the now well known Jadavpur University. Likewise, National College was set up in Kolkata with Sri Aurobindo Ghose as its Principal.
