POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY OF LOKMANYA BAL GANGADHAR TILAK
Keywords:
Swaraj, multifacetedAbstract
Lord Macaulay's Indian intellectuals, the leaders of Westernization in social and political reform, based their programme of social and political action almost entirely on the philosophy of life and action of ninet6eenth century Europe. They were truly more the products of Western civilization than Indian. Tilak was not satisfied with the western values and was not ready to reject India's own philosophy of life in order to imitate the philosophy of the British. For Tilak there was no reason for India to feel ashamed of her civilization then compared to the west. Just the contrary, India should feel great pride. Indian values were different from but not inferior to western values.
