About the Book:

Lokamanya Tilak: Father of Indian Unrest and Maker of Modern India by D. V. Tahmankar is a comprehensive and authoritative biography of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, one of the foremost architects of India's freedom movement. Widely regarded as a pioneer of Indian nationalism, Tilak played a crucial role in awakening political consciousness and inspiring generations of Indians to demand self-rule.

Drawing on extensive research and historical records, Tahmankar traces Tilak's life from his early years as a scholar, educator, and journalist to his emergence as one of the most influential leaders of the Indian independence struggle. The book examines his role in popularizing the slogan "Swaraj is my birthright, and I shall have it," his leadership within the nationalist movement, and his efforts to mobilize public opinion against colonial rule.

The biography also explores Tilak's contributions to education, social reform, journalism, and political thought. Readers gain insight into his writings, legal battles, imprisonment, and the profound influence he exerted on later leaders of the independence movement. The author places Tilak's achievements within the broader context of India's political awakening and the struggle against British rule.

Published by Wyman and Sons, this hardback edition is an important resource for students, historians, researchers, and readers interested in Indian political history, nationalism, and the lives of great freedom fighters. The fact that this is an author-signed copy further enhances its collectible value.
