What is meant by the terms: (i) Swadeshi (ii) Boycott?


(i) Swadeshi:
Swadeshi is a Sanskrit word that means “self-made” and “country.”
It refers to products made in one’s own country. When protests, petitions, and prayers failed, practical weapons to promote indigenous good were emphasised.
Homemade items abound in the markets.
The Swadeshi movement aimed to expand Indian manufacturing. This movement taught people how to coordinate capital and mobilise resources.
To popularise this event, a nationwide campaign was launched.
Swadeshi should only buy products made in India and by Indians.
Small-scale manufacturing and hand-spun fabric were promoted.

(ii) Boycott:
A boycott is a refusal to use, buy, or engage in any product or activity.
Because Indians were prohibited from purchasing British goods, it grew in scope. English cloth, salt, sugar, visits to the site, and English speech were all prohibited.
Indians were not permitted to utilise foreign items.
This was an openly anti-British movement. In every field, there was a lack of cooperation, and family boycotted festivities.
Clothing, sugar, salt, and British commodities were burned on fire in piles. Cobblers and washermen refused to repair English shoes, and even answer papers and books for the study were boycotted.
The English school system was now publicly mocked.

FINAL ANSWER
Swadeshi means manufactured in own country and a boycott is a decision not to use, buy, or participate in a product or activity.
