Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a frontline fighter, intimately involved with the Indian national movement. This book explores Tilak’s engagements, not just with the Indian national movement, but also the nuanced diversities associated with a context that preceded the mass movements.
Based on a variety of sources, the contributors attempt to historicize a nationalist icon. In the process, the reader is presented with a holistic picture of a leading nationalist personality, including his contradictions and ambiguities. In this sense, the different contributions in this book question the ‘received wisdom’ associated with Tilak. Bal Gangadhar Tilak: Popular Readings would be of use to those interested in the Indian national movement and the manner in which it intersected with a range of social, cultural and political issues. The ‘non-specialist’ reader, too, will be interested in the way in which the book makes both Tilak and his context accessible.

‘The book can also be placed alongside, and in counterpoint to, scholarship on the changing tenor of Indo-Persian aesthetic cultures in the Mughal period (as in the work of Sunil Sharma and Muzaffar Alam). Sharma’s study is an indispensable contribution, pointing to new and revelatory considerations of a highly formalized literature vitally engaged in history.’— SUTOPA DASGUPTA, Harvard University

‘Sandhya Sharma’s work captures an intense cultural moment and documents the social and cultural history of that moment using poetry as evidence. In this effort, she steers away from the mainstream ideas . . . [and] unambiguously provides sufficient ground for her innovative research methodology… a fine balance between materials and analysis constitutes the real strength of this work.’— AFSAR MOHAMMED
