Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because the Extremist leaders frequently used Hindu religious symbols, icons, and myths to mobilize the masses against British rule. For example, Bal Gangadhar Tilak popularized the Ganpati and Shivaji festivals, while other leaders invoked Goddess Kali or the concept of Mother India as a deity.

While these methods were effective in inspiring the Hindu population, they unintentionally alienated Indian Muslims. The constant emphasis on a glorified Hindu past and the use of religious imagery made the movement appear communal in nature, making it difficult for many Muslims to identify with or join the Extremist cause. This cultural approach to nationalism created a psychological distance between the two communities during that period.
