Tilak's Week (1915)

Embedded with patriotic fervour, this silent, short film explores the life of one of India's greatest leaders and freedom fighters, Bal Gangadhar Tilak. "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it" -- these are the words from a fearless crusader of India's Independence, Bal Gangadhar Tilak. Bal Gangadhar Tilak's contribution to modern India stands on par with that of Mahatma Gandhi's. His role in Congress and advocating Home Rule for India were enormous. His newspaper (Kesari) founded in 1881 is going strong even today. Hundreds of schools in India were result of his vision. This masterfully crafted short film captures the influence and actions of Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
