The 1907 Surat session of Congress saw the splitting of the party. The Surat session was also known as the Surat split. The reason for this is there was an open clash between the moderates and extremists, leading to the Congress split. The moderates supported resolving minor issues with the British through discussions, petitions, delegations, and deliberations with the government. In contrast, the extremists believed in agitation, strikes, and boycotts. An agitation was held against the moderates under the leadership of Lokmanya Tilak. However, the extremists remained inside the Indian National Congress. In the Surat session, there were differences of opinion in choosing the President of Congress. The extremists wanted Lokmanya Tilak or Lala Lajpat Rai, and the moderates vouched for Rash Behari.
