<P> Passive resistance could not go for long and its ultimate result could never be in doubt . This was the genesis of the sudden emergence of a network of secret revolutionary organizations which were determined to meet the Government on equal terms, by collectively arms and opposing terrorism by terrorism . </P> <P> The Swadeshi partition and the Government measures also finally led to the split of Hindus and Muslims and virtually the formation of Muslim League in 1906 . This was opposed by Mahatma Gandhi as he was against Hindu - Muslim Divergence </P> <P> Although Swadeshi was originally conceived as merely a handmade of boycott of foreign goods and meant only to be an urge to use indigenous in preference to foreign goods, it soon attained a much more comprehensive character and became a concrete symbol of nationalism . No less significant was that Swadeshi in Bengal brought into the vortex of politics a class of people - the landed aristocracy--who had hitherto held studiously aloof from the congress or any other political organization . Outside Bengal, it gave a rude shock of disillusionment to the whole of India and stimulated the political thoughts of the people . Swadeshi emphasized "Aatma shakti" or soul force . One particular aspect of the Swadeshi movement which M.K. Gandhi prized above everything else should be specially emphasized . It taught the people to challenge and defy the authority of the Government openly in public and took away from the minds of even ordinary men the dread of police assault and prison as well as the sense of ignominy which hitherto attached to them . To go to prison or get badge of honour and not as hitherto a brand of infancy . </P> <P> The Swadeshi Movement had its genesis in the anti-partition movement which was stated to oppose the British decision to partition Bengal . The Government's decision to partition Bengal had been made public in December 1903 . </P>
