The two resolved to carry on the work of the country. Tilak started two newspapers, Kesari (Marathi) and Maratha (English). Through these newspapers, his historic work of public education, political awareness, and resistance to government injustice started from here. However, in 1884, Tilak-Agarkar founded the Deccan Education Society. Ferguson College was founded in 1885 by this organization. Tilak used to teach Mathematics and Sanskrit subjects. Tilak was as proud of Hinduism as he was of the nation. Religion was the subject of his obsession. He had studied Vedas, Upanishads, philosophy, theology, Gita. Lokmanya Tilak used to say that those who are not proud of Hindutva or Hindu Dharma have no right to say what social reforms should be done by Hindus.

The Great Ganeshotsav and Shivjayanti Celebration

Similarly, in 1893, riots broke out between Hindus and Muslims in many parts of the country. Lokmanya Tilak was of the view that the cause of the riots could not be eradicated without realizing that the British government was a third party and not just Hindus and Muslims. Lokmanya Tilak said that the partisan policy of the British government i.e. Foda and Zoda' was the cause of the riots. It was only after this incident that the idea of making Ganeshotsav and Shiv Jayanti public as a means of public awareness came up. In two issues of 'Kesari', Tilak explained the purpose behind celebrating this festival. Tilak was very angry with the Indians who were blindly Imitating the British. He said, "Some of our so-called educated compatriots may be equal to Saheb drinking.in but can they have the ambition of Saheb to get a seat in the government of India?" According to Tilak, the reason for the weakness of Indians was their lost confidence and sense of oneness. As long as respect for religion, culture and history are not revived among the people, it is useless to talk about political and social freedom. Tilak also studied Greek culture. From this, they realized that the Olympic Games, held every four years in memory of the god Jupiter, had succeeded in bringing together the various Greek kingdoms in the same vein, in 1893, he revived the old-fashioned Ganeshotsav in a new form. Tilak turned Ganeshotsav. into a ten-day social festival. This was also his intention behind celebrating Shiva Jayanti in public One is to. provide a platform for anti-British awareness in the form of these festivals and the other is to bring the entire Hindu community together and increase their unity.

A charge with Treason

Against the British rule, Tilak wrote a series of intense articles, "To rule is not to seek revenge," "Is the head of government in place?" As a result, he was charged with treason. He was sentenced to hard labor. On September 6, 1898, Lokmanya Tilak was released from prison. Lokmanya Tilak's entire life was divine. He served the country by sacrificing body, mind, and money. Even though his body was tired, his constant travels for public awareness, lectures, the program continued. Finally, on August 1, 1920, the storm stopped permanently.
