What were the objectives of the Home Rule Movement?

The objectives of the Home Rule Movement were as follows:

  1. The primary objective of the Home Rule Movement was to achieve self-government within the British Empire through the use of constitutional means. That is, it aimed at the establishment of a government by Councils, whose members would be elected by the people of India.
  2. It was intended that such a Council should pass the country’s budget and the ministers should be made responsible to the legislatures.
  3. The Home Rule Movement sought to organise public opinion in favour of its main objective and the over-arching objective of gaining political independence for India in the long run.
