Tilak founded the Deccan Education Society (1884), aimed at educating the masses through the English language, which he considered as a conveyor of liberal and democratic ideals. Tilak’s brush with journalism Tilak owned and edited two weekly newspapers — Kesari (Marathi) and The Mahratta (English). For him, newspapers were a powerful medium to criticise the colonial regime in India. Tilak’s Kesari titled “The misfortune of the country” in 1908 slammed the brutal bureaucracy under the British rule, leading to his imprisonment. He was sent to jail in Mandalay, Myanmar, from 1908 to 1914 where he wrote a book Geeta Rahasya. Using religion to unite Indians Tilak used Hindu religion in order to widen the national movement.

“No man of our times had the hold on the masses that Mr Tilak had.” – Mahatma Gandhi, in his obituary for Lokmanya Tilak in Young India, August 4, 1920 “The greatest Indian of the day… indomitable Tilak, who would not bend though he break.” – Jawaharlal Nehru, in An Autobiography “Tilak is at the moment probably the most powerful man in India.” – Edwin Samuel Montagu, British Secretary of State for India between 1917 and 1922, in An Indian Diary Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the foremost leader of India’s freedom struggle before the advent of the Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi era, breathed his last, after a brief illness, in Bombay in the early hours of August 1, 1920. He was 64. Destiny snatched him away at a relatively young age. Had he lived longer, this lion among Indian patriots could have changed the course of the nation’s freedom struggle for the better. The funeral at Chowpatty Beach, not far from where he lived – in a modest rented room in a guest house called Sardar Griha – was attended by over a million people. Among the pall-bearers were Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Shaukat Ali, a prominent leader of the Khilafat Movement. A grief-stricken Young India on August 4, 1920: “A giant among men has fallen. The voice of the lion is hushed…His patriotism was a passion with him. He knew no religion but love of his country. He was a born democrat. …He had an iron will, which he used for his country. His life was an open book. His tastes were simple. His private life ...

Introduction: Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the foremost leader of India’s freedom struggle before the advent of the Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi era, breathed his last, after a brief illness, in Bombay in the early hours of August 1, 1920. Destiny snatched him away at a relatively young age. Had he lived longer, this lion among Indian patriots could have changed the course of the nation’s freedom struggle for the better. Tilak was the tallest of the leaders of his generation who prepared the nation for the trials and triumphs of the Gandhian era. First leader to recognise the importance of Identity: Identity was once considered a primordial subject by the social science fraternity. But, then, there was a significant change. Many social scientists recognised the importance of identity as a factor that motivates human enterprise. Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak was perhaps the first political leader in modern India to appreciate the importance of identity issues. He realised that these could be a tool to make inroads in the minds of an otherwise docile society. Once that was done, people could be motivated to join the struggle for independence, which explains Tilak’s clarion call for swaraj and swadeshi. On August 1, 1920, a day before Gandhiji launched the Non-Cooperation Movement, Tilak passed away, thus marking the end of one and beginning of another era that culminated in the realisation of his dream of free India.

Born on July 23,1856 in Ratnagiri district, Bal Gangadhar Tilak was one of the most dashing leaders of political India during its pre-independence years. He came to be called ‘Lokmanya’. With a graduation certificate from the Deccan College of Poona, he began his public career by setting up the New English School at Poona. As Tilak believed in the power of education to serve the masses he became the founder-editor of the journals, Mahratta in English and Kesari in Marathi. After joining the Indian National Congress in 1891 he moved an Arms Act resolution at its annual conference for modifying the resolutions governing gun prohibition and Indians’ in­volvement in the military. He worked to increase focus on political rather than social reforms. His agitations against the foreign rulers focused on the British divide and rule programme and their partisanship towards the Muslims, their land reve­nue policies and their corrupt administration. He also took over the Sarvajanik Sabha from the moderate leadership. To foster Indians’ sense of pride, he began celebrating the Ganapati Pooja festival and the Shivaji festival with great pomp. Tilak was imprisoned in 1897 for 18 months and again m 1908 for six years, during which time he penned down his thoughts on the Bhagavad Gita to produce the Gitarahasya. To advance India’s cause, he founded the Home Rule League in 1916. In the same year, he helped in ushering in the Lucknow Pact between the leaders of the Congress and the Muslim Le...
