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. |
