Why did the ‘Moderates’ failed to carry conviction with the nation about their proclaimed ideology and political goals by the end of the nineteenth century? (150 words)

1. Constitutional methods did not appeal to the masses( by the time it was end of the 19th century), Bengal had been divided and it proved a blow to the strategies of the moderates.
2. Famines for e.g. great bengal famine had convinced to the masses, that britishers were not going to do any favour to the indians, so moderates form of struggle (freedom struggle within constitutional means had no point to be continued further)
3. New strategies of struggle like extremists ideologies had sprung up who wanted to adopt passive form of resistance as the mass struggle programme
4. Youth was motovated to participate in the struggle (which was becoming difficult in the moderate phase of struggle, because the had to drop the studies to enter into reform councils, also age was a bar)
