At the Calcutta session of the Indian national Congress held in December 1906, Ambika Charan Majumdar moved the Congress Resolution supporting Boycott and Swadeshi and Bipin Chandra Pal seconded it. In a fiery speech Bipin Chandra Pal said: "You will have observed the word "Boycott" attached to the word "Movement". It means that it shall move, move from point to point, move from city to city, move from division to division, move from Province to Province till we realize the highest destiny of our people as a nation in the comity of nations I mean "Swaraj".

Bipin Chandra Pal was among the first to vigorously articulate the new philosophy of organized resistance to British rule. On the first anniversary of the "Swadeshi Movement" and "Boycott Movement" in 1906, Bipin Chandra Pal with a modest capital of Rs.500/- took the bold decision to launch an English Daily, "Bande Mataram" which was to create a special niche for itself in the history of our freedom movement. Bipin Chandra Pal invited Arbindo Ghoshe to join the Editorial team of "Bande Mataram". Arbindo Gosh readily accepted.

The "Swadeshi Movement" in Bengal heralded a new Age in our national history. Swadeshi was instantly identified as the highest form of patriotism and "Swadeshism" became the cradle of New India. It was an intensely spiritual movement and aimed at the emancipation of India in every sense, of every Indian.

He joined the Indian National Congress in 1886 and left it after the split in the Congress at the Surat session in 1907. He rejoined the Indian National Congress in 1916 at the Lucknow session and left it again in 1921. Thrice he visited England, in 1896, 1908 and 1919. The most important event in Bipin Chandra Pal's life was his refusal to give evidence against Arbindo Gosh in a sedition case against him in 1907 for which he suffered rigorous imprisonment for six months. But this made him a national hero.
