Tilak was born in a Marathi Chitpavan Brahmin family in Ratnagiri as Keshav Gangadhar Tilak, in the headquarters of the eponymous district of present-day Maharashtra (then British India) on 23 July 1856.[1] His ancestral village was Chikhali. His father, Gangadhar Tilak was a school teacher and a Sanskrit scholar who died when Tilak was sixteen. In 1871 Tilak was married to Tapibai (Née Bal) at the age of 16, a few months before his father's death. After marriage, her name was changed to Satyabhamabai. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in first class in Mathematics from Deccan College of Pune in 1877. He left his M.A. course of study midway to join the LL.B course instead, and in 1879 he obtained his LL.B degree from Government Law College .[6] After graduating, Tilak started teaching mathematics at a private school in Pune. Later, due to ideological differences with the colleagues in the new school, he withdrew and became a journalist. Tilak actively participated in public affairs. He stated: "Religion and practical life are not different.The real spirit is to make the country your family instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God."[7]
Inspired by Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, he co-founded the New English School on 1 January 1880 with a few of his college friends, including Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi, Vishnushastri Chiplunkar and Vaman Shivram Apte. Their goal was to improve the quality of education for India's youth.The success of the school led them to set up the Deccan Education Society on 24 October 1884.[8] The aim of the institution was to create a new system of education that taught young Indians nationalist ideas through an emphasis on Indian culture.[9] The Society established the Fergusson College on 2 January 1885 for post-secondary studies. The college held its initial classes in Gadre Wada and other locations in Pune.[10][11] Tilak taught mathematics at Fergusson College. In 1890, Tilak left the Deccan Education Society for more openly political work.[12] He began a mass movement towards independence by an emphasis on a religious and cultural revival.[13]
Political career
Tilak had a long political career agitating for Indian autonomy from the British rule. Before Gandhi, he was the most widely known Indian political leader. Unlike his fellow Maharashtrian contemporary, Gokhale, Tilak was considered a radical Nationalist but a Social conservative. He was imprisoned on a number of occasions that included a long stint at Mandalay. At one stage in his political life he was called "the father of Indian unrest" by british author Sir Valentine Chirol.[14]
