Aprašymas

Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Bipin Chandra Pal played a decisive role in reshaping Indian political thought in the early 20th Century and in deepening the struggle against colonial rule. Th­is book examines their ideas as a part of a wider critique of an exploitative imperial order.
Lajpat Rai placed his faith in constitutional methods and saw self-government as the surest check on colonial power. Pal broadly shared this view, while also advocating peaceful resistance when constitutional means failed. Tilak, however, argued more forcefully for active resistance, drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and giving voice to the demand for swaraj. His use of public festivals such as Shivaji and Ganapati also helped carry nationalist politics into a wider public arena.
Together, their ideas and methods mark an important shift in the direction and character of India's freedom movement.
