The rise of revolutionary nationalism in India marked a turning point in the struggle against British colonial rule. While early moderates and constitutionalists believed in petitions, reforms, and gradual change, revolutionary nationalists rejected these slow methods and adopted radical and militant approaches. This video explains in detail the two major streams of revolutionary nationalism in India: Violent Revolutionary Nationalism (उग्र क्रांतिकारी धारा) – This stream was inspired by the belief that only armed struggle and direct action could overthrow British rule. Organizations like Anushilan Samiti, Jugantar Party, Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA), and Ghadar Party carried out armed attacks, bombings, and assassinations of British officials. Leaders like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Khudiram Bose, Surya Sen, and Udham Singh became legendary icons of India’s freedom struggle. Spiritual-Philosophical Revolutionary Nationalism (आध्यात्मिक-दार्शनिक धारा) – This stream drew inspiration from Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghosh, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. It emphasized spiritual awakening, cultural pride, and the moral duty of Indians to fight against colonial oppression. Literature like Vande Mataram and the teachings of the Gita were used to inspire youth towards sacrifice and dedication for the motherland. By analyzing these two streams, this video provides a clear understanding of how revolutionary nationalism shaped India’s freedom struggle and complemented the mainstream Congress-led movements. This session is extremely important for UPPCS Prelims 2025, UPSC CSE, and other competitive exams as questions from Indian National Movement, Revolutionary Activities, and Nationalism are frequently asked. #history #revolution
