A Pioneer Of The Celebration Of Shivaji And Ganpati Festivals, Bal Gangadhar Tilak Emph Elastically Declared Time And Again That, Swaraj Is My Birth-Right And I Will Have It. Through His Writings In Kesari And Maharatta, He Had Much Impact Of His Sociopolitical Ideology In Maharashtra And Elsewhere. Indeed His Editorials Were Much Critical Of The Doings Of The Raj Which Remained His Target Till The Last Day Of His Life.His Ideology Of The New System Of Education, His Deportation To Mandalay Jail, Tai Maharaja Case, The Home Rule Movement With Mrs. Annie Besant, The Chirol Case And Other Events Of His Career Speak Of His Sincere Involvement For Swaraj And Social Change In Our Society. Undoubtedly He Suffered Much, But He Stuck To His Ideology Supported By The Extremists In His Political Camp. The Chapters Deal With His Philosophy Of Life, Long Legal Trials And The Concept Of Swaraj Which Was Always Dear To Heart.

About the book Bal Gangadhar Tilak Bal Gangadhar Tilak was an Indian nationalist, social reformer and freedom fighter who was the first popular leader of the Indian Independence Movement and is known as “Father of the Indian unrest.” Tilak was one of the first and strongest proponents for Swaraj (complete independence) in Indian consciousness, and is considered the father of Hindu nationalism as well. His famous quote, “Swaraj is my birthright, and I shall have it!” is well-remembered in India even today. Reverently addressed as Lokmanya (meaning “Beloved of the people” or “Revered by the world”), Tilak was a scholar of Indian history, Sanskrit, Hinduism, mathematics, law and astronomy. Tilak aimed at Swarajya (Independence), not piecemeal reforms, and attempted to persuade Congress to adopt his Purna Swarajya programme. This book is a comprehensive design to offer an in-depth analysis of the major, and rather disturbing, global problems in the human-centered, Bal Gangadhar Tilak peace-oriented framework.
