Today, the nation celebrates 165th Birth Anniversary of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Born on July 23, he was a nationalist, an extremist & an independence activist. He was among the initiators of Indian Independence Movement for which he was titled as the ‘Father of the Indian unrest” by British author Sir Valentine Chirol. He was endeared as ‘Lokmanya’ by the general public and Mahatma Gandhi described him as the ‘Father of Modern India’. He was also amongst the triumvirate Lal, Bal, Pal  where Lal is referred to Lala Lajpat Rai and Pal was referred to Bipin Chandra Pal.An extremist radical throughout his political career, Tilka joined Indian National Congress in 1890, but he opposed the moderate attitudes especially towards the fight for self government. In fact, it was the Swadeshi movement of 1905–1907 that resulted in the split within the Indian National Congress into the Moderates and the Extremists.
