Maharashtra's deputy chief minister devendra fadnavis and ajit pawar will also be present at the function. Organizer Tilak Smarak Mandir Trust (Hind Swaraj Sangh) has said that this award recognizes the supreme leadership of PM Modi, under which india is climbing the stairs of progress.
congress leaders like Rohit Tilak and former Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde are associated as trustees in this trust. Lokmanya's great-grandson and Rohit's father Deepak Tilak is presiding over it.
Lokmanya Tilak has traditionally been a supporter of the Congress. Lokmanya Tilak is considered to be the person who took congress to the masses. Earlier this award has been given to Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi, atal bihari vajpayee and manmohan singh for their public service. In a sense, by giving this award to PM Modi, it is being thought that Tilak and his legacy are slowly being taken over by the Hindu right wing.
Tilak was a reformist and anti-Brahminist in his early days. In later years, he got attracted towards the ideology of Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks seized power in russia in 1917. Despite joining the indian National congress, he started speaking against the moderate attitude of the Congress.
Was Tilak socially conservative?
Issues like caste and women's emancipation were considered socially conservative by Tilak. He did not support the efforts of Brahmin and non-Brahmin reformers. Tilak found strong support among orthodox Brahmins on issues such as legislation against child marriage and opposition to the Age of Consent Bill. Tilak and his supporters did not want the colonial government to interfere in matters of religion and felt that this was an internal issue of Hindus, which they needed to rectify voluntarily.
