Bal Gangadhar Tilak, also known as Lokmanya Tilak, was a nationalist leader who believed in the concept of Swaraj or self-rule for India. He founded the Indian Home Rule League in April 1916 as a means to mobilize public support for India`s independence. The league aimed to promote self-governance and active participation of the people in the freedom movement. Tilak`s leadership and his emphasis on grassroots mobilization played a crucial role in bringing awareness and unity among the masses and contributing to the independence struggle.
