About the course:
Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak was one of the prominent freedom fighters of India. He published many works in his lifetime. Based on astronomical calculations of Vedic hymns, he asserted that the Vedas belonged to the 4th millennium BCE and the people who wrote it belonged to the Arctic region.
Let us revisit these assertions in this session.
