Read the following passage and answer the questions:

'The next phase of revolutionary activity in Maharashtra centres round Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who may be said to have been a born revolutionary. It is said that when the story of Chapekar brothers reached him, he, then a boy of fifteen, took a vow before the goddess Durgā to fulfil the mission of the martyred Chapekars by driving out the British from India. In 1900, he started an Association at Nasik called Mitra Melā. Its objective was political independence of India, and it emphatically asserted that such an independence could be won, if need be, by armed revolt. In 1904, this Association was developed at Poona and adopted the new name, 'Abhinava Bhārata', after Mazzini's Young Italy.
