When was the Swadeshi movement launched in India (Bengal)?

1905

The correct answer is Option 2 - 1905

The formal proclamation of the Swadeshi movement was made on August 7, 1905, with the passing of the 'Boycott' resolution in a meeting at the Calcutta town hall.

The India that Mahatma Gandhi came back to in 1915 was rather different from the one that he had left in 1893. Although still a colony of the British, it was far more active in a political sense. The Indian National Congress now had branches in most major cities and towns. Through the Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 it had greatly broadened its appeal among the middle classes. That movement had thrown up some towering leaders – among them Bal Gangadhar Tilak of Maharashtra, Bipin Chandra Pal of Bengal, and Lala Lajpat Rai of Punjab. The three were known as “Lal, Bal and Pal”, the alliteration conveying the all-India character of their struggle, since their native provinces were very distant from one another.
