Lokmanya Tilak (1856-1920) was the first national leader of the Indian freedom movement who transcended provinces, communities and languages to establish himself in the hearts of millions. Tilak was a fierce advocate of swarajya (self-rule) and his famous words - 'Swarajya is my birthright, and I shall have it!' are well - remembered even today. The adulation he received from his followers earned him the title of 'Lokmanya' - the admired one. This book explores the multi-faceted personality of Bal Gangadhar Tilak - social reformer, scholar and national leader - convincingly portraying a man of the people of his time.
Tilak was born in the year 1856 and died in the year 1920. He was a paramount figure in the freedom struggle. Hundred years have passed since his death. But today, Bharat needs him more than ever. This book is a dovetail of Tilak's thoughts and the concept of self-reliance. The author of this nook firmly believes that, among all possible paths, the path of self-reliance is the only one that brings about the material, moral and cultural renascence of a dormant nation and raises it to the greatest level by peaceful revolution.
Biography of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, 1856-1920, Indian freedom fighter.
“स्व राज हमारा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है’ का नारा देनेवाले लोकमान्य बाल गंगाधर तिलक का जन्म 23 जुलाई, 1856 को महाराष्ट्र के रत्नागिरि नामक स्थान पर हुआ था। उनके पिता गंगाधर राव संस्कृत और व्याकरण के विद्वान् थे। वे रत्नागिरि की मराठी शाला के प्रधानाचार्य थे। माता-पिता ने बड़े लाड़-प्यार से बालक गंगाधर का लालन-पालन किया। कुछ बड़ा होने पर उन्हें पढ़ने के लिए रत्नागिरि की प्राइमरी पाठशाला में भेजा गया। वे मन लगाकर पढ़ाई करने लगे। तिलक बचपन से ही निर्भीक और साहसी थे। स्वाभिमान की भावना तो उनमें कूट- कूटकर भरी हुई थी। ये सब गुण उन्हें अपने पिता से विरासत में मिले थे।

Lokamanya (revered leader) Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856 - 1920), the extremist politician of Maharashtra, a region of western India, was one of the first Congress Party leaders to adopt the strategy of mass politics. Interpretations of his role and his achievement differen greatly. Some historians depict Tilak as India's first mass politician who was a creative nationalist myth-maker; other suggest that he was an opportunist who manipulated politics for selfish, elitist purposes. With an eye to resolving these conflicting opinions, Cashman related Tilak's ideology to his political organization. the author concentrates on four mass movements, studying the Lokamanya when he was engaged in political action and comparing his public statements with his political tactics. This approach provides a means of examining the manner in which Tilak redefined myths and of assessing the value of myths for purposes of political mobilization. Cashman suggests deficiencies in previous interpretations of Tilak. Arguing that the limitations of the mass movements need not be explained by the inadequacies of myths, he demonstrates that instead they reflected the transitional state of Maharashtraian society, which lacked a broad consensus. Tilak was active at a time when there was no common goal, no broader objective, in which sectional interests might be subsumed. He symbolized the uncertain striving of his society for some new direction, whose nature was yet unknown. He did not create the myth of the Lokamanya or the ideology of nationalism but, responding to social and political pressures, became a prisoner of the myths. Much writing of Indian history has been influenced either by a narrow ideological approach or by a retreat to arithmetical pragmatism. Cashman attempts to restore a balance by reexamining the relationship of myth to politics.
