Which one among the following statements regarding Bal Ganga- dhar Tilak is not correct ?

Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a prominent nationalist leader who propounded the theory of the 'Arctic Home of the Aryans' in his 1903 book, suggesting the North Pole was the original Aryan home [3]. He was instrumental in the Home Rule movement, setting up his Indian Home Rule League in April 1916 with its headquarters in Poona [1]. Additionally, Tilak was known for mobilizing the masses through cultural and religious symbols, which included founding 'Anti-Cow-Killing Societies' to appeal to Hindu sentiments. However, Tilak did not support the Age of Consent Bill of 1891. He vehemently opposed it, not necessarily because he favored child marriage, but because he believed that social reforms should come from within Indian society rather than being imposed by a foreign colonial government. This opposition made him a controversial figure among social reformers of his time.
