INDIAN HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The idea was propounded by Annie Besant on the lines of Irish Home Rule movement. Many Indian revolutionaries suported the Britishers but Tilak and Besant considered this an opportunity to achieve independence from the British.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction: The home rule movement was the Indian response to the First World War in a less charged but in a more effective way.

Detailed explanation-3: -Annie Besant set up her All-India Home Rule League in September 1916 in Madras (now Chennai) and covered the rest of India (including Bombay city). Hence statement 2 is not correct. It had 200 branches, was loosely organized as compared to Tilak’s league, and had George Arundale as the organising secretary.
