All India Swadeshi Conference

The All India Swadeshi Conference, held in 1906 in Calcutta, was a significant gathering advocating for Indian self-reliance and economic independence from British rule. Participants promoted the use of Indian-made goods, aimed to reduce dependence on imported British products, and emphasized indigenous industries. The conference fostered a sense of national pride and unity among Indians, encouraging economic self-sufficiency as a means of resisting colonial dominance. It played a vital role in the Swadeshi Movement, mobilizing support for local industries and fostering patriotic activism against British economic policies.
