Imagine you are an Early Nationalist leader. Mention any two methods you would follow to fight against the British.

(1) Prayers, petitions and memoranda — placing demands before the British Government through written appeals and resolutions passed at Congress sessions, in the belief that British sense of justice would grant them. (2) Constitutional agitation — working within the law through speeches, the press and debates in the legislative councils to educate public opinion and press for reform.

The Early Nationalists (Moderates) are defined by their faith in British justice and their strictly constitutional methods — which is why their approach was mocked as "political mendicancy" (begging). Use that phrase if you have room; it shows you understand the criticism as well as the method. Do NOT offer boycott, Swadeshi or passive resistance here — those belong to the ASSERTIVE Nationalists, and the question specifies Early.
