With reference to the picture given below, answer the following: 1) What were the three personalities popularly known as? 2) Which section of the Congress did they represent? 3) Mention two of their popular beliefs.

1. They were popularly known as LAL-BAL-PAL — Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal.

1. They represented the ASSERTIVE NATIONALISTS (also called the Extremists or Radicals) of the Congress.

1. Two of their beliefs:

(i) That SWARAJ — complete independence — was the birthright of Indians and must be demanded, not requested. Tilak declared, "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it." (ii) That freedom must be won by the efforts of Indians themselves through SELF-RELIANCE AND SACRIFICE, not by appealing to British justice; they had no faith in the goodwill of the British and were ready to defy the law and suffer imprisonment.

Three tasks, one mark each. The name LAL-BAL-PAL must appear — it is what the question is asking for — and the three men should be named in full. For the beliefs, give ones that DISTINGUISH them from the Moderates: complete independence rather than reform, and self-reliance rather than petitions. Tilak’s slogan is the single most quotable line in this chapter and should be used.
