    Describe the Boycott and Swadeshi Movements.

    Answer:

    The Boycott and Swadeshi Movements stemmed from the partition of Bengal. They aimed at getting rid of the British as well as improving the economy of the country. Swadeshi means 'of one's country'. Its aim was that Indians use only products made in India so that Indian industries could prosper. The people began boycotting British goods and using Indian products. These movements rapidly spread all over the country. The use of local products gave a boost to village industries. Many Indian industries like textiles, factories of soaps and matchboxes and even banks sprang up. They reaped profits as the demand for Indian products grew.
