Nirguna bhakti on the other hand was worship of an abstract form of god. Alvars (literally, those who are “immersed” in devotion to Vishnu) and Nayanars (literally, leaders who were devotees of Shiva). Alwars and Nayanars belong to Saguna bhakti as they practice idol worship of Vishnu and Shiva

Both statements are correct regarding style of architecture.There are many subdivisions of nagara temples depending on the shape of the shikhara. There are different names for the various parts of the temple in different parts of India; however, the most common name for the simple shikhara which is square at the base and whose walls curve or slope inward to a point on top is called the 'latina' or the rekha-prasada type of shikara. The second major type of architectural form in the nagara order is the phamsana. Phamsana buildings tend to be broader and shorter than latina ones. Their roofs are composed of several slabs that gently rise to a single point over the centre of the building, unlike the latina ones which look like sharply rising tall towers. Phamsana roofs do not curve inward, instead they slope upwards on a straight incline

The movement failed to garner the support of the masses of Muslims.

The peasants of Bengal massively supported the movement and participated in it.
|
Women came out of their homes for the first time and joined the mass movement.

There was no massive participation of peasants in the movement. The Swadeshi movement was just the beginning of peasant participation. It was limited to small areas in Bengal.While it is argued that the movement was unable to make much headway in mobilizing the peasantry especially its lower rungs except in certain areas, such as the district of Barisal, there can be no gainsaying the fact that even if the movement was able to mobilize the peasantry only in a limited area that alone would count for a lot. This is so peasant participation in the Swadeshi Movement marked the very beginnings of modem mass politics in India. Hence, option (c) is incorrect. It was during the Swadeshi movement, the women for the first time came out in large numbers and participated openly. The movement largely failed to garner the support of muslims. The British policy of communalism to turn the muslim against the Swadeshi movement was largely responsible for this. Students came in large numbers to propagate and practice swadeshi and took the lead in organising picketing of shops selling foreign goods.

One of the cause of the revolt was absence of contact between the ruler and the ruled. Thus to associate Indians in the task of legislation, Indian Council Act of 1861 was passed.

An Islamic revivalist movement founded by Syed Ahmed of Rai Bareilly, who was inspired by the teachings of Abdul Wahab (1703-87) of Saudi Arabia and Shah Waliullah of Delhi. Syed Ahmed condemned the western influence on Islam and advocated a return to pure Islam and society. He was declared as Imam (desired leader) and a countrywide organization with and elaborate secret code for its working under spiritual vice-regents (khalifas) was set up, and Sithana in north-western tribal belt was chosen as a base for operations. In India, its important centre was at Patna though it had its missions in Hyderabad, Madras, Bengal, UP and Bombay. Since the Dar-Ul-Harb (the land of kafirs) was to be converted into Dar-Ul-Islam (the land of Islam), a jihad was declared against the Sikh kingdom of Punjab. After the defeat of the Sikh ruler and incorporation of the Punjab into East India Company’s dominion in 1849, the British dominion in India became the sole target of the Wahabi’s attacks. A series of military operations by British in 1860s on the Wahabi base in Sithana and various court cases of sedition on the Wahabis weakened the Wahabi resistance, although sporadic encounters with the authorities continued into the 1880s and 1890s. Hence both the statements are correct.
