HINDU NATIONALISM : THE FIRST PHASE |

|
|
| There
were similar movements in western India beginning with the Prarthana
Samaj which threw up great social reformers such as Mahadev Govind
Ranade and Gopal Krishna Gokhale. All in all, the foundations of
Hindu nationhood had been firmly and widely laid. Out of these
movements of re-formation in north-western India, western India and
Bengal, emerged the triumvirate of Lal (Lala Lajpat Rai), Bal (Bal
Gangadhar Tilak) and Pal (Bipin Chandra Pal) who dominated Indian
politics in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Sri
Aurobindo, then Arabinda Ghosh, joined them for a brief period at
the time of the partition of Bengal. He then retired from political
life to pursue the path of yoga and to illumine the path by his
writings.
