●  Surat Split is an important event in the modern history of India. It took place in 1907 when the moderates parted company with the Extremists.

●  The split in the congress was due to many reasons. The Moderates had controlled the congress from its very beginning and had their own ways of thinking and doing which were not acceptable to the younger generations who were impatient with the speed at which the moderates were moving and leading the nation. This was the time of Swadeshi Movement.

●  Moderates too had differences with extremists on several issues:

o  Demand for the resolution of Swaraj

o  Lala Lajpat Rai to be made the President of the INC.

●  The rest of the movements have already been explained in the file.
