Bal Gangadhar Tilak :An Untold Legacy

BAL GANGADHAR TILAK

In the eyes of Britishers, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, also known as Lokmanya Tilak, was the ‘Father of Indian unrest’ against the British Raj.

”Swarajya is my birthright, and I shall have it,” said Tilak who along with Bipin Chandra Pal and Lala Lajpat Rai constituted the ‘Lal-Bal-Pal’ trio of extremist leaders. Unlike moderates, they were not satisfied with self-rule under the British crown but wanted complete Independence for India and were not averse to using extra constitutional means to achieve their ends. Tilak was convicted of sedition and spent 6 years in prison for defending revolutionaries. As a freedom fighter, journalist and as a man who fought against mindless westernization of Indian society his contributions are unparalleled.

Lokmanya Tilak

Keshav Gangadhar born on 23 July 1856 in Chikhali village in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra province. He worked as a math teacher and later became a journalist publishing two newspapers, one in Marathi and one in English. His writings and the Deccan Education Society he started aimed at furthering the freedom movement, educating Indians in the modern style but keeping Indian thought as the major aspect. He thought English education teaches disrespect to elders and breaks families.

Though Tilak had joined Congress, he had differences with the Congress leadership for not giving enough opposition to the British power. To urge people to fight against the British, he heavily drew upon Indian scriptures. He wrote the Gita Rahasya emphasising the primacy of action, through the philosophy of Karma Yoga. From 1908 to 1914, he spent six years in Mandalay prison for writing articles defending Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose. He formed the Home Rule League in 1916.

Ganeshotsav to bring together all sections of society

Lokmanya Tilak felt that popularising Indian festivals and celebrations as public fetes will aid in a national awakening against the British. He initiated the Ganeshotsav and Shivaji Utsav in 1894. It aimed to popularise his writings that were making roots in the intellectual class and transmit that consciousness to the other classes.

He died on 1 August 1920 in Mumbai. In tributes, Mahatma Gandhi referred to him as “the Maker of Modern India,” and Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, called him “the Father of the Indian Revolution.”

Is Indian Government Making Education A Business???🤔🤔💰😯🙁😕

''Education in India has become business just because of the government. The Government of India is solely responsible for it and people who choose such corrupt and iliterate leaders. Either directly or indirectly, it is the failure of government. At one side the government promises to make education accessable to all and at the other side secretly promotes education as a buisness.'' This is the thought that comes to the mind of every Indian. Every citizen in India,at some point of their have had this thought in their mind. The mains reasons for the people to believe that that the government has made education a business are:- 1. Lack of proper government requlatory policy - There are no proper regulatory policy to make things in the education sector. Even if there are any polices,they have never been implemented properly. 2. Skyrocketing fees in private institutions -The fees in Pvt Institution is increasing many folds and there is no effort from the Gov to keep it i...

Corruption In RTOs:The Hotspot of Corruption in India👹👺😠💵💸🛐💲💱

REGIONAL TRANSPORT OFFICE has always been a hotspot for corruption and till date there is not a single dent the RTOs. Corruption begins even before you enter the office. The brokers and dalals stop you infront of the gate and thats where the corruption starts. Its not rocket science that the people working RTOs and RTO officers are involved too but the play this game in such a way that they remain behind the screens. For Example, If someone want make a DL for MCWG or LMV then when one pays bribe the RTO officers get a cut of Rs 600 while the broker makes 200 while in LMV they get 1500 while broker gets 400. The officers pass only the person who has paid bribe and disqualify the ones who donot pay bribe even when one doesnot make any mistakes. Is this how a RTO should function? Filled with corrupt officals and a place where corruption starts infront of the gate. First of all one has to pay hefty sum to Gov as fees for services for example Rs250 to RTO...

Is Earth A Bomb About To Go Boom!!!🌍🌏☠💣💥

The heat at the core of the Earth is important for a number of things, primarily it helps sustain the planet’s magnetic field as well as helps keep surface temperatures relatively in check. The glowing and flowing fiery iron in the Earth’s core is critical life on the planet but that might not be the case forever. And scientists are now suggesting that the temperatures in the core (now roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit) are cooling at a much faster rate than originally anticipated. Basically, they’ve been on the downtrend since the beginning, but the cooling pace is picking up and that’s going to be an issue. It isn’t possible to measure the exact temperature of the Earth’s core or to track the increases or decreases in a 1:1 type fashion, so scientists have had to come up with different methods to track what exactly is happening there. According to reporting by Science Alert , a group from Switzerland is working to try and measure the tem...

'' Yes, its made of twigs and sticks and i like it because i built it myself' ', said the bird. '' You all birds are the same. Look at us we have a natural home and our shell is far better and comfortable than yours. You must be jealous of my shell,isn't it ?'', said the tortoise. The bird replied,'' My home may not be as natural as yours but it has space for my family and friends but your shell cannot accomodate anyone other than you. Maybe your house is better but i have a better home.'' *WELL A CROWDED HUT IS BETTER THAN A LONELY MANSION.

Unimaginable Bond Of Love💘🐾

Unimaginable Love Where Meeny came from , I'll never know, but I remember her arrival at Damur Hills, my home in a part of northeast India, in early 1969. That morning I was sitting on a river bank, when I noticed a gang of road workers passing by, behind them was a diminutive sand coloured creature like a jackal. Only its twisting of tail and standing straight proved it was a dog.🐕 But I saw a pair of lustrous,innocent eyes and as they ingratiatingly accepted a piece of toast. Her peculiar size made me name her Meeny. She seemed happy to stay with me. As we set off to daily walks,our first step took us into the domain of forest animals. The forest full of dangers specially for a dog like Meeny. For instance, leopards love showing dominance on dogs and rate them high on list of targets. But, Meeny's instincts served her well and she assessed her new environment quickly. But to bring a leopard into the household seemed more audacious. Nevertheless...
