TILAK |
|
| He became one of
the famous trinity of National leaders Leaders Lal-Bal-Pal. They were Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal
Gangadhar Tilak and Bepin Chandra Pal. It was Tilak who started the Ganapati festival of Maharashtra for social consolidation and political awakening. He asked the people to participate whole heartedly in it without distinction of caste. He also started the Shivaji festival to canalise out political aspirations through hero worship. After a long and strenuous fight for the freedom of India, Tialk passed away on August 1, 1920 and the whole country mourned his death as never before. In courage, character, power of will and dedication to the service of the people, he had few equals in the annals of our Country. |
