Book Summary
Kesari: Selected Essays (Hb) - Hardback gathers Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak’s pivotal essays published in Kesari from 1886 to 1918. A cornerstone for readers of Indian history and political thought, it surveys topics from the Indian National Congress to economy, nationalism, and education, while exploring Tilak’s provocative views on sedition and women’s rights. Translated by Nadeem Khan and Yashodhan Parande, this hardback invites students, history buffs, and curious minds to engage with Tilak’s bold ideas and the moments that helped shape modern India.
Designed to be read as both a historical record and a living argument, the book preserves Tilak’s original voice while offering accessible translation and clear organization. The essays move through pressing questions of the era—how nations mobilize, the role of the press, and the push for Swadeshi, Boycott, and Swaraj—and reveal the urgency and courage of that moment. The experience is engaging: concise, pointed essays that unfold like a dialogue with history, supported by context that helps readers connect past debates with present-day questions.
Whether you approach Kesari: Selected Essays as a window into the nationalist movement or as a source of inspiration for civic thinking, Tilak’s writings illuminate the complexity of reform. The collection contends with sedition, champions education, and probes women’s rights, offering a portrait of a reformer who challenged convention while shaping a nation’s course. It’s a rich, thought-provoking journey into the ideas that sparked a republic and still echo in discussions about democracy, rights, and identity.
After reading Kesari: Selected Essays, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Tilak’s role in shaping Indian political thought and the struggle for independence. The book invites reflection on rights, education, and civic participation, leaving readers informed, inspired, and better equipped to think critically about democracy, nationhood, and history’s lasting impact.
