About the Book: Lokmanya Tilak
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..
