Tilak, Gandhi, Subhas, and Sri Aurobindo

A major strength of Tilak was his willingness and flexibility to align with any group and use any means to achieve his means. On the question of ends and means, Tilak was nearer to Subhas than Gandhi and the former had a marked preference for Tilak and Sri Aurobindo rather than Gandhi...Tilak was aware of the serious limitations of the nature of the early Congress which was merely a deliberative assembly with its three-day annual convention, characterised by Sri Aurobindo as the “three day tamasha” as the only significant activity.
