	Bal Gangadhar Tilak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tilak strongly criticized the government for its brutalism in suppression of free expression, especially in face of protests against the division of Bengal in 1905, and for denigrating India's culture, its people and heritage.
		Tilak opposed the moderate views of Gopal Krishna Gokhale, and was supported by fellow Indian nationalists Bipin Chandra Pal in Bengal and Lala Lajpat Rai in Punjab.
		Tilak authored the well-regarded The Orion, or, Researches into the antiquities of the Vedas (1893) in which he used astronomy to establish that the Vedic people were present in India at least as early as the 4th millennium BC.

	Islamic Voice
		Brahmachari may here be forgiven for his poor lack of understanding of the whole Partition phenomenon, as the myth that the Muslims were alone, or even largely, responsible, for the division of India is one that has been passionately propagated by ‘secularist’ Indian historians and their Hindutva counterparts alike.
		The whole thrust of the Hindu ‘nationalist’ (read Brahminical) movement, starting from Bankimchandra Chatterji and Balgangadhar Tilak, to Savarkar, Hegdewar and Golwalkar (interestingly, all Brahmins) was vehemently opposed to the united participation of Muslims and Hindus in the struggle against British imperialism.
		Indeed, the demand that the Muslims of north-west India (the present-day Pakistan) should be separated from the rest of India was first made, in the first decade of the present century, much before the Muslim League’s Lahore resolution of 1940, by none other than Bhai Parmamand, the Brahmin head of the arch-reactionary Hindu Mahasabha.

		The freedom movement that took shape in diverse ways—from revolutionary dimensions of Maharishi Aurobindo to the extremist politics of Balgangadhar Tilak to the moderate campaign of Mahatma Gandhi—was undeniably influenced by Swami Vivekananda’s idea of worship of Bharatmata, the Motherland.
