Answer:

Education: Amongst one of the first generation of Indians to receive a college education, Tilak obtained his Bachelor of Arts in first class in Mathematics from Deccan College of Pune in 1877. He left his MA course of study midway to join the LLB course instead, and in 1879 he obtained his LLB degree from Government Law College. After graduating, Tilak started teaching mathematics at a private school in Pune from which he withdrew later due to ideological differences with colleagues and became a journalist

He organised the Deccan Education Society in the 1880s with a few of his college friends, including Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi and Vishnushastri Chiplunkar. Their goal was to improve the quality of education for India's youth. The Deccan Education Society was set up to create a new system that taught young Indians nationalist ideas through an emphasis on Indian culture. The Society established the New English School for secondary education and Fergusson College in 1885 for post-secondary studies. Tilak taught mathematics at Fergusson College. He began a mass movement towards independence by an emphasis on a religious and cultural revival.

The Deccan Education Society still runs Institutions in Pune like the Fergusson College.

Books: Tilak wrote many books on Indian culture, history and Hinduism like The Orion or Researches into the antiquities of the Vedas (1893), Arctic Home in the Vedas, Geetarahasya and others.

Newspapers: Towards his nationalistic goals, Bal Gangadhar Tilak published two newspapers - Mahratta (English) and Kesari (Marathi). Both the newspapers actively propagated the cause of national freedom.

Tilak started two weeklies, Kesari ("The Lion") in Marathi and Mahratta in English (sometimes referred as 'Maratha' in Academic Study Books)[48] in 1880–81 with Gopal Ganesh Agarkar as the first editor. By this he was recognized as 'awakener of India', as Kesari later became a daily and continues publication to this day.
