The chief goal of the revolutionaries was to end the British rule. For this, they adopted several means like loot, murder and violence. They believed that the goal which cannot be attained by moral means can be achieved by force and violence. Their goal was not to loot and murder. They wanted to give birth to a true revolution. By the word revolution (Kranti), they meant to change social order based on injustice.
They wanted to uproot the foreign rule by conducting a countrywide revolution. To take revenge upon the foreign rulers, they threw bombs at them, shot them dead and uprooted the railway lines. The English officers who suppressed the movement were put to death by revolutionaries and the British rulers were terrorized in other ways, so that they may stop torturing the Indian freedom fighters.
