Book Description
This work is a systematic study of Bal Gangadhar Tilak's thought, focusing on his views on 'communal' relations within the Indian polity, on caste and reform in Hindu society, and on political ethics regarding violence and non-cooperation. The Thought of Bal Gangadhar Tilak adopts a contextualist approach, situating his ideas in local Maharashtrian as well as pan-Indian and global cultural-intellectual contexts. The approach blends Tilak's quotidian journalism and speeches alongside his canonical texts on Aryan history and on the Bhagavad Gita. The work marks a departure from current interpretations, emphatically arguing that he is misappropriated and/or misunderstood as a proto-Hindutva thinker. Instead, he is revealed to be a radical liberal who supports counter-autocratic violence, a majoritarian pluralist in terms of intercommunity relations, a self-strengthening reformer who focuses on masculinity, and a Brahmin supremacist who is committed to reshaping India for the challenges of modernity. This book lays emphasis on his remarkable recognition as the nation's 'founding father' and particularly demonstrates how this later appropriation by Gandhi was contested by those celebrating Tilak's approach to contest him during the crucial mid-1920s period when he was indelibly linked to re-emerging Hindutva. More recently, growing ahistorical demi-official insistence on his social progressivism illustrates a change in India's public culture, as does the use of popular or even legal pressure to de-legitimize perennial criticism of Tilak's socio-political positions.

Book Description
About the book Bal Gangadhar Tilak Bal Gangadhar Tilak was an Indian nationalist, social reformer and freedom fighter who was the first popular leader of the Indian Independence Movement and is known as “Father of the Indian unrest.” Tilak was one of the first and strongest proponents for Swaraj (complete independence) in Indian consciousness, and is considered the father of Hindu nationalism as well. His famous quote, “Swaraj is my birthright, and I shall have it!” is well-remembered in India even today. Reverently addressed as Lokmanya (meaning “Beloved of the people” or “Revered by the world”), Tilak was a scholar of Indian history, Sanskrit, Hinduism, mathematics, law and astronomy. Tilak aimed at Swarajya (Independence), not piecemeal reforms, and attempted to persuade Congress to adopt his Purna Swarajya programme. This book is a comprehensive design to offer an in-depth analysis of the major, and rather disturbing, global problems in the human-centered, Bal Gangadhar Tilak peace-oriented framework.

Book Description
“स्व राज हमारा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है’ का नारा देनेवाले लोकमान्य बाल गंगाधर तिलक का जन्म 23 जुलाई, 1856 को महाराष्ट्र के रत्नागिरि नामक स्थान पर हुआ था। उनके पिता गंगाधर राव संस्कृत और व्याकरण के विद्वान् थे। वे रत्नागिरि की मराठी शाला के प्रधानाचार्य थे। माता-पिता ने बड़े लाड़-प्यार से बालक गंगाधर का लालन-पालन किया। कुछ बड़ा होने पर उन्हें पढ़ने के लिए रत्नागिरि की प्राइमरी पाठशाला में भेजा गया। वे मन लगाकर पढ़ाई करने लगे। तिलक बचपन से ही निर्भीक और साहसी थे। स्वाभिमान की भावना तो उनमें कूट- कूटकर भरी हुई थी। ये सब गुण उन्हें अपने पिता से विरासत में मिले थे।

Book Description
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a frontline fighter, intimately involved with the Indian national movement. This book explores Tilak's engagements, not just with the Indian national movement, but also the nuanced diversities associated with a context that preceded the mass movements. Based on a variety of sources, the contributors attempt to historicize a nationalist icon. In the process, the reader is presented with a holistic picture of a leading nationalist personality, including his contradictions and ambiguities. In this sense, the different contributions in this book question the 'received wisdom' associated with Tilak. Bal Gangadhar Tilak: Popular Readings would be of use to those interested in the Indian national movement and the manner in which it intersected with a range of social, cultural and political issues. The 'non-specialist' reader, too, will be interested in the way in which the book makes both Tilak and his context accessible.
