• S.No	Year	Event
  1	1905	Partition of Bengal
  2	1907	Split in Congress
  3	1919	Rowlatt Satyagrah

 

• The Surat Split was the splitting of the Indian National Congress into two groups - the Extremists and the Moderates - at the Surat session in 1907.
  • Ras Bihari Ghosh presided over the Surat session of the Indian National Congress in 1907.
• In 1905 (Banaras Session of the INC): Gokhale was the President and for the first time, he had a discussion over ‘Swaraj’.
• In 1906, Dadabhai Naoroji (who was the President of the INC session at Calcutta), and in his Presidential address, used the word Swaraj.
  • Thus, the word, ‘Swaraj’ wasn’t untouchable to them, but they were reluctant to pass the resolution over ‘Swaraj’.​
