Lokmanya Tilak was born in Ratnagiri of Maharashtra and he did his schooling there. One the class teacher entered the class and saw groundnut shells strewn in the classroom. He became annoyed and took his cane and asked the students who ate groundnuts in the class, no one confessed and the teacher decided to punish the entire class. He began to give each student two slashes with his cane. When Tilak's turn came, he didn’t hold his hand out, instead he said "I didn’t eat groundnuts. So I won’t receive the slash”.
