Assertive (Extremists/Aggressive) Nationalism was the period (1905–1916) in success to Early Nationalists or Moderates. The Early Nationalists failed to attain their objectives, giving rise to Extremist/Assertive Nationalism.[citation needed] The Last and final years of the nineteenth century saw the radical sensibility emerge among some Indian intellectuals like Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal (Lal, Bal, Pal). They all were together known Assertive Nationalists.[citation needed] They rejected the former notions of the moderates of prayers, petitions and protest or the 3P's. Instead, they began adopting aggressive measures like Swadeshi and Boycott and openly accused British for the 'economic crisis of India' and for gaining freedom from the British rule in India. They played a key role in the independence of India (modern day India, Myanmar, Pakistan and Bangladesh)

Use of the name "Moderates" Came to an end in 1907.
