... Delegates came in strength from many parts of India. Sri Aurobindo led a large contingent of Nationalists from Bengal. Tilak was present along with other stalwarts from Maharashtra like Dr. Munje and G.S. Khaparde. The Nationalists also welcomed back Lala Lajpat Rai and Sardar Ajit Singh who came from the Punjab and had both been recently released from detention. The Moderates were equally well represented... after so much debate at Calcutta. And it was precisely on this issue that the clash took place. On the eve of the Congress, i.e. on December 25. the Nationalists held their party meeting. G.S. Khaparde has recorded in his diary: 'There is great discipline in our party. In the afternoon we had our Nationalist Conference. Aurobindo Babu presided and Tilak made another masterly statement, clear and ...
... of Dadabhai Naoroji that a resolution laying down independence as the goal of the Congress session was passed for the first time. Among the Nationalist leaders who attended were Tilak, Lajpatrai, Khaparde and Khare. It was mainly due to Sri Aurobindo's efforts in the reception committee and the working committee that the resolution was passed. The resolution, once accepted by the Reception Committee... and the Nationalists – began their efforts to secure the majority for their side. The Moderates chose Surat as the venue as they thought it would be easy for them to secure a majority there. Tilak, Khaparde, Khare were already there from the Nationalist side. From among the leaders of Bengal, Sri Aurobindo was chosen to preside over the meetings on Balaji Tekra. In one of the speeches he began, "My pen ...

Tilak conducted his own defence, assisted by Khaparde, Karandikar, Kelkar, Baptista and other eminent lawyers. But from the start there was little doubt about the-outcome of the case. The colonial government was desperately looking for an opportunity... Pradhan and A. K.

After the split, the rival groups gave their own versions of the happenings, the Nationalist version being signed by Tilak, Sri Aurobindo, Khaparde, H. Mukherji and B.C. Chatterji. Although Sri Aurobindo didn't return to Calcutta at once, his editorial and other contributions continued to appear in the Bande Mataram. In the series of ...
... Nationalist Party from Bengal reached Surat. There were already many delegates who had come and they kept arriving from all over the country. Among them were Ashwini Kumar Dutt from Bengal, G. S. Khaparde and Dr. Munje from the Central Provinces, Lala Lajpat Rai from Punjab, Chidambaram Pillai from the South 1 —in fact, all the leaders worth their salt. And, of course, Tilak from Maharashtra, who... Ghee-Kanta Wadi was held. The delegates paid one rupee each, as it had been announced in the pages of the Bande Mataram. More than a thousand delegates attended the conference. On the motion of Khaparde, Sri Aurobindo was elected to the Chair. In a few brief words the Chairman stated the purpose of Nationalism. He then called upon Tilak to speak in detail. Tilak made a very clear and forceful ...

... his last barely weeks before theCalcutta session. Tilak's followers were deeply demoralised. VOC resigned from the Congress on his return from Calcutta. While many of his Maharashtra disciples—GS Khaparde, BS Moonje and others—drifted into Hindu communalism, the germ of which was very much in Tilak's ideology, VOC's politics kept clear of it. He continued to play a part in the nationalist movement ...

Tilak was present as the leader of the Nationalists, along with Lajpat Rai, G.S. Khaparde and others. Sri Aurobindo avoided the limelight but worked constantly behind the scenes, taking a prominent part in the private discussions. Largely as a result of his influence, it was decided that ...

... Congress to be held at Nagpur in December 1920. Sri Aurobindo's friend of former days Dr. B.S. Moonje of Nagpur, made a direct approach to the recluse at Pondicherry. Leaders like Lajpat Rai, G.S. Khaparde, Baptista, C.R.
