Meaning of Revolutionary Movement: 

In spite of the untiring efforts of the liberals and the extremists, they could not achieve much success in attaining freedom for the country. In place of paying any attention to the demand of Swaraj, the British began to suppress and torture Indians more vigorously. They made more suppressible laws. They began to put the great leaders demanding freedom, into jails. They put a ban on processions and meetings.

They put into jails thousands of Indians who were opposing the partition of Bengal. They were brutally tortured in jail. As a result of the policy of suppression of the British Government, the national movement saw a new line of thinking. This was called the revolutionary movement.

The votaries of this movement wanted to destroy the British government through violent means and wanted freedom for the country. Sardar Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Raj guru, SukhDev, Ramprasad Bismil, veer Savarkar, etc. were the chief votaries of the revolutionary movement.

The Programmes and the policies of the Revolutionaries: 

The leadership of the revolutionaries against the British administration decided upon the following programmes and activities to get success in a definite measure: 

1. They focused on forceful publicity through the newspapers to foster public hatred against British administration. 

2. They tried to expel fear of unemployment and starvation from Indian minds. 

3. They tried to foster the feeling nationalism, freedom and patriotism amongst Indians. 

4. To attract the attention of the British government in Vande Mataram procession, meetings regarding Swadeshi and Boycott, so that the activities and programmes regarding freedom may be smoothly carried out without any hindrance. 

5. Heart – touching plays and music conferences were organized to awaken feelings of nationalism and patriotism among the public. The heroic acts’and sacrifices made by the great national heroes should be narrated in the public meetings, so that more and more people should know about them and are inspired to follow the same way. 

6. The youth of the country should be trained to wield arms, so that in case of emergency, they may be used as well – btrained freedom soldiers. 

7. The arms should be made and purchased from the foreign countries and may be secretly brought to India, so that they might be more available to the well – trained youth proficient in wielding arms. 

8. The militarily trained youths should understand military commands and should be taught in obeying their commands in mind and spirit. 

9. Money should be made available to the revolution through loot and dacoities, so that the activities of the revolutionaries might be conducted unhindered.

The revolutionaries wanted prompt results, so they made secret agencies to keep their activities covert, where the revolutionaries were taught to make bombs and to wield arms. They threw bombs, fired bullets, uprooted the railway lines and murdered the police officers who used force.

They also terrorized the British administration to prevent them from, torturing Indian public. Frightened by the violent activities of the revolutionaries, the British administration became a bit lenient in its behaviour. Though the revolutionaries sowed the seeds of nationalism among the public, yet they could not be wholly successful in getting their goal.
