Explanation:
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was born on 23rd July 1856 as Keshav Gangadhar Tilak in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra. His ancient village Chikhali was located in Sangameshwar taluk. His father Gangadhar Tilak was a school teacher who died when Tilak was only 16 years old.
Ardent Nationalist
Ever since his adolescence, Tilak had been an ardent nationalist and had been participating or supporting revolutionary activities. His view was largely radical and demanded nothing less than self-rule of purna Swaraj.
He openly supported Anti-British agitation and activities, due to which he was jailed several times. He joined Indian National Congress after the 1916 Lucknow Pact; although, he thought that Congress should adopt a more radical approach to demand freedom.
While in congress, Tilak worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi and became a popular leader of the Indian freedom movement. Tilak founded the All India Home Rule League in 1916-18 with Annie Besant and G.S. Khaparde.
Social Reformer
Apart from being a nationalist and a patriot, Tilak was also a social reformer who bought many changes in society. He is credited with giving the Ganeshotsava festival its present-day grandeur, before that only worshipping of Ganesha was being followed in the houses. The credit of making the festival grander with procession, music, and food, goes completely to Tilak.
Conclusion
Bal Gangadhar Tilak died on 1st August 1920 aged 64 at Bombay in British India. Tilak was so popular a leader that he was given the sobriquet ‘Lokmanya’ meaning someone who has the consent of people or represents them.
