Detailed explanation-1: -Nationalists led by Lokmanya Tilak agitated against the Moderates. The split between these two sections became visible at the end of Congress’ Banaras Session (1905). Lokmanya Tilak and his followers held a separate conference and formed the Extremist Party. However they decided to work as a part of the INC.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Indian National Congress split in 1907. The reason for the split was the opposition of the moderates to boycotts as a form of protest in the Swadeshi Movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cause of the Surat Split of 1907 was the difference in the ideologies of the Moderates and the Extremists. The Moderates supported Rash Bihari Ghosh, while the Extremists supported Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
Detailed explanation-4: -They differed on many points but one of the main point of difference was swaraj. Extremists aimed at nothing short of swaraj as it existed in United Kingdom and its self governing colonies. Moderates, on the other hand, wanted more Indians in the administration and not to an end of British rule.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Surat Session of 1907 was a major event that took place on the bank of the Tapti River in Surat. Dr Rash Behari Ghosh presided over the Surat session.
