They wanted to make India free from the British rule at any cost. They adopted all means to protect and maintain the prestige and pride of mother India. They believed that if the moral means failed to achieve a goal, it should be achieved by violent means. They answered the British government in their language and used arms whenever they could. Their message was, “Hold the sword in hand and wipe out the British government.”
The revolutionaries wanted to use arms against the British rule and wanted to bring in a true revolution in the country. Explaining the meaning of revolution, they said, “We want revolutionary change in the political and social affairs of the country which are based on tyranny and injustice. Revolution is to end the exploitation and to get back the right to reconstruct our country India according to our own vision.”
