بال جانجادهار تيلاك

بال جانجادهار تيلاك

، المولود باسم كيشاف جانجادهار تيلاك (Keshav Gangadhar Tilak) (23 يوليو 1856؛ 1 أغسطس 1920)، كان قوميا هنديا وصحفيًا ومعلمًا ومصلحا اجتماعيا ومحاميًا ومناضلاً في سبيل الاستقلال، وكان أول زعيم شعبي لـ حركة الاستقلال الهندية. أطلقت السلطات البريطانية الاستعمارية عليه بازدراء اسم "أبو الاضطرابات الهندية". ومُنح أيضًا لقبًا فخريًا "لوكمانيا"، والمعنى الحرفي لهذا اللقب هو "أنه مقبول عند الناس (على أنه زعيم أو قائد لهم)".

كان تيلاك واحدًا من أوائل وأقوى المدافعين عن "الاستقلال" (الحكم الذاتي) وله أثر راديكالي قوي في الوعي الهندي. ولا تزال مقولته الشهيرة "الحكم الذاتي هو حق مكتسب بالميلاد، وواجبي أن أسعى جاهدًا لنيله" محفوظة في ذاكرة الهند حتى يومنا هذا.

ولد كيشاف تيلاك في تشوماكاتشو لين (Chummakachu Lane) (رانجاني أعليا (Ranjani Aaleea)) في تشيخالي (Chikhali)، راتناجيري، ماهاراتشرا لعائلة تشيت بافان براهمين (Chitpavan Brahmin). أما والده، شري جانجادهار تيلاك، فكان باحثًا ومدرسًا لـ اللغة السنسكريتية، وقد وافته المنية عندما كان تيلاك في السادسة عشرة من عمره. تخرج كيشاف الشاب من كلية ديكان (Deccan)، بوني في 1877. وكان تيلاك واحدًا من الجيل الأول من الهنود الحاصلين على التعليم الجامعي.

كان من المتوقع أن يشارك تيلاك، كالمعتاد في ذلك الحين، بنشاط في الشؤون العامة{{subst:OCTOBER 2012|تاريخ=أبريل 2019}}. من أقواله:

"لا فرق بين الحياة الدينية والعملية. إن الوصول إلى سانياسا (Sanyasa) (نكران الذات) لا يعني التخلي عن الحياة. فالروح الحقيقية هي أن تمثل البلد لك عائلتك وتعملا معًا بدلاً من العمل لوحدك فقط. إن هذه الخطوة أبعد من خدمة الإنسانية والخطوة التالية هي خدمة الله". ويمثل هذا التفاني في سبيل البشرية عنصرًا أساسيًا في الحركة الوطنية الهندية{{subst:OCTOBER 2012|تاريخ=أبريل 2019}}.

بعد تخرجه، بدأ تيلاك في تدريس الرياضيات في مدرسة خاصة في بوني. ولكنه بعد ذلك قرر الانسحاب من هذا النشاط بسبب الاختلافات الأيديولوجية بينه وبين زملائه في المدرسة الجديدة. وفي تلك الفترة، أصبح صحفيا. وقد كان ناقدًا قويًا لنظام التعليم الغربي، حيث كان يشعر بأنه يُهين الطالب الهندي ولا يحترم التراث الهندي. أسس جمعية ديكان التعليمية مع عدد قليل من أصدقاء الكلية، بما فيهم غوبال غانيش أجاركار (Gopal Ganesh Agarkar) وماهاديف بلال نامجوشي (Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi) وفيشنوشاستري كروشناشاستري تشيبلونكار (Vishnushastri Krushnashastri Chiplunkar)، التي تهدف إلى تحسين جودة تعليم الشباب الهندي. تأسست جمعية ديكان التعليمية لإنشاء نظام جديد يُعلم الشباب أفكار الوطنية الهندية من خلال التأكيد على الثقافة الهندية. وبدأ تيلاك حركة جماهيرية نحو الاستقلال كانت مختفية خلف ستار من التأكيد على إحياء الجانب الديني والثقافي. وكان يقوم بتدريس الرياضيات في كلية فيرغسون.

Lokmanya Tilak

Lokmanya Tilak

pronunciation (help·info); 23 July 1856 – 1 August 1920), born as Keshav Gangadhar Tilak, was an Indian nationalist, teacher, and an independence activist. He was one third of the Lal Bal Pal triumvirate  Tilak was the first leader of the Indian Independence Movement. The British colonial authorities called him "The father of the Indian unrest." He was also conferred with the title of "Lokmanya", which means "accepted by the people (as their leader)".  Mahatma Gandhi called him "The Maker of Modern India". 

Tilak was one of the first and strongest advocates of Swaraj ("self-rule") and a strong radical in Indian consciousness. He is known for his quote in Marathi: "Swarajya is my birthright and I shall have it!". He formed a close alliance with many Indian National Congress leaders including Bipin Chandra Pal, Lala Lajpat Rai, Aurobindo Ghose, V. O. Chidambaram Pillai and Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Keshav Gangadhar Tilak was born on 23 July 1856 in an Indian Marathi Hindu Chitpavan Brahmin family in Ratnagiri, the headquarters of the Ratnagiri district of present-day Maharashtra (then Bombay Presidency).  His ancestral village was Chikhali. His father, Gangadhar Tilak was a school teacher and a Sanskrit scholar who died when Tilak was sixteen. In 1871 Tilak was married to Tapibai (Née Bal) when he was sixteen, a few months before his father's death. After marriage, her name was changed to Satyabhamabai. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in first class in Mathematics from Deccan College of Pune in 1877. He left his M.A. course of study midway to join the LL.B course instead, and in 1879 he obtained his LL.B degree from Government Law College . After graduating, Tilak started teaching mathematics at a private school in Pune. Later, due to ideological differences with the colleagues in the new school, he withdrew and became a journalist. Tilak actively participated in public affairs. He stated: "Religion and practical life are not different. The real spirit is to make the country your family instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God." 

Inspired by Vishnushastri Chiplunkar, he co-founded the New English school for secondary education in 1880 with a few of his college friends, including Gopal Ganesh Agarkar, Mahadev Ballal Namjoshi and Vishnushastri Chiplunkar. Their goal was to improve the quality of education for India's youth. The success of the school led them to set up the Deccan Education Society in 1884 to create a new system of education that taught young Indians nationalist ideas through an emphasis on Indian culture.  The Society established the Fergusson College in 1885 for post-secondary studies. Tilak taught mathematics at Fergusson College. In 1890, Tilak left the Deccan Education Society for more openly political work.  He began a mass movement towards independence by an emphasis on a religious and cultural revival.

August

August

August is the eighth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and the fifth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.  It was originally named Sextilis in Latin because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, with March being the first month of the year. About 700 BC, it became the eighth month when January and February were added to the year before March by King Numa Pompilius, who also gave it 29 days. Julius Caesar added two days when he created the Julian calendar in 46 BC (708 AUC), giving it its modern length of 31 days. In 8 BC, it was renamed in honor of Augustus. According to a Senatus consultum quoted by Macrobius, he chose this month because it was the time of several of his great triumphs, including the conquest of Egypt. 

August does not start on the same day of the week as any other month in common years, but starts on the same day of the week as February in leap years. It ends on the same day of the week as November every year. In years preceding common years, it starts and ends on the same day of the week as May of the following year. In years preceding leap years, it begins and ends on the same day of the week as October of the following year and ends on the same day of the week as February of the following year. In common years preceded by any year, August begins on the same day of the week as March and November and ends on the same day of the week as March and June. In leap years, it begins on the same day of the week as June of the previous year and ends on the same day of the week as September of the previous year. In common years preceded by common years, August begins on the same day of the week as February of the previous year.

In the Southern Hemisphere, August is the seasonal equivalent of February in the Northern Hemisphere. In many European countries, August is the holiday month for most workers. Numerous religious holidays occurred during August in ancient Rome. 

Certain meteor showers take place in August. The Kappa Cygnids take place in August, with the dates varying each year. The Alpha Capricornids meteor shower takes place as early as July 10 and ends at around August 10, and the Southern Delta Aquariids take place from mid-July to mid-August, with the peak usually around July 28–29. The Perseids, a major meteor shower, typically takes place between July 17 and August 24, with the days of the peak varying yearly. The star cluster of Messier 30 is best observed around August.

Among the aborigines of the Canary Islands, especially among the Guanches of Tenerife, the month of August received in the name of Beñesmer or Beñesmen, which was also the harvest festival held this month.
