The goal of the Home Rule movement was to achieve home rule or rule status for India under the British Empire along the lines of countries such as Canada and Australia.

Home rule is government of a colony, dependent country, or region by its own citizens. It is thus the power of a constituent part (administrative division) of a state to exercise such of the state’s powers of governance within its own administrative area that have been decentralized to it by the central government.

The correct answer is Self government for India. The main motto of the Home Rule Movement was for the establishment of self-government for India in the British empire using constitutional methods. Home Rule Movements were launched in the country in 1916 under the leadership of Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

Following are the circumstances that led to the decline of the Home Rule Movement: The British government realised the seriousness of the demonstrations and decided that it needed to appease the nationalists so that there is no hindrance in the British war effort.

Leaders like Tilak, Subramania Iyer and Annie Besant decided to organise a league at the natioal level to demand home rule so, this movement also known as the home rule movemnt. This led to the formation of two home rule leagues.
