Lokmanya Tilak (även: Bal Gangadhar Tilak), indisk politiker, född 23 juli 1856 i Ratnagiri, dåvarande presidentskapet Bombay, död 1 augusti 1920, var braman, studerade vid Deccan College, blev advokat och startade 1880 de båda tidningarna "The mahratta" (på engelska) och "Kesari" ("Lejonet"; på hindi).

Han förde i dem under många år en häftig agitationskampanj mot det brittiska väldet i Indien och ådrog sig flera åtal för uppvigling. På flera indiska nationalkongresser spelade han en framträdande roll. 1908 dömdes han för "gillande av mord" till sex års deportation. Han besökte 1918 England och förde då mot sir Valentin Chirol utan framgång en process för ärekränkning, sedan denne i The Times och sin bok Indian Unrest skildrat honom som en hänsynslös uppviglare.

Han författade även ett antal böcker, av vilka The Arctic Home in the Vedas är mest känd. I den hävdar författaren att Veda bara kan ha komponerats vid nordpolen, och presenterar en serie bevis för tesen i form av bland annat beskrivningar av stjärnbilder.[4] Han skrev även en analys av Bhagavad Gita vid namn Shrimadh Bhagvad Gita Rahasya.

at had caused the people and the country tohave faith not only in the omnipotence of their rul-ers, but also in their altruism. In the words of oneof the leaders of the Nationalist thought (Babu B. C.Pal,^^ The Spirit of Indian Nationalism, page42), the people had been hypnotised to believe in thealtruism of their foreign rulers: * Untrained in the crooked ways of civilised di-plomacy, they had believed what their rulers hadsaid, either of themselves or of their subjects, asgospel truth. They had been told that the people ofIndia were unfitted to manage their ov/n affairs, andthey believed it to be true. They had been told thatthe people were weak and the Government wasstrong. They had been told that India stood on alower plane of humanity and Englands mission wasto civilise the semi-barbarous native.
