== Lala Lajpat Rai ==
* Born in undivided Punjab on 28 January 1865, Lala Lajpat Rai grew up in a family that allowed the freedom of faith.
* Even before he focused his efforts towards a self-sufficient India, Rai believed in the principle.
* In 1895, he started the [[Punjab National Bank]] — the first Indian bank to begin solely with Indian capital, and that continues to function till date.
* Rai had travelled to America in 1907 and immediately caught up similarities between the ‘colour-caste’ practised there and the caste system prevalent in India.
* In 1917, he even founded the Indian Home Rule League of America there.
* His proactive, brave participation in the protest earned him the title of the Lion of Punjab or Punjab Kesari.
 
== Bal Gangadhar Tilak ==
* Bal Gangadhar Tilak (23 July 1856 – 1 August 1920) born in Ratnagiri - Bombay Presidency, was an Indian nationalist, teacher, and an independence activist
* In 1884, he founded the Deccan Education Society in Pune, and under the banner, opened the New English School for primary studies and Fergusson College for higher education.
* His involvement in the educational institutions was to emphasise on the cultural revival of young Indian minds.
* For the British, Tilak was the “Father of the Indian Unrest.”
* When the Indian National Congress was divided among moderates and extremes—the stand that each member took against the British government—there was no doubt which side Tilak supported.
* Literary works: Kesari and Maratha newspapers
 
== Bipin Chandra Pal ==
* The father of revolutionary thoughts, Bipin Chandra Pal, was born on 7 November 1858 to a wealthy family in Sylhet, Bengal Presidency (now in Bangladesh).
* Pal was a journalist by profession and often contributed to several newspapers.
* He used his literary expertise to write against the use of British goods, advocating Indians to start using Swadeshi goods instead.
* He was of a strong opinion that a mass reliance on Swadeshi goods would help people get rid of their poverty.

Lala Lajpat Rai of Punjab, Bal Gangadhar Tilak of Bombay, and Bipin Chandra Pal of Bengal, the triumvirate were popularly known as Lal Bal Pal, changed the political discourse of the Indian independence movement.

Lal Bal Pal (Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Bipin Chandra Pal) were a triumvirate of anti-colonial nationalists in British India in the early 20th century, from 1906 to 1918.[citation needed] They advocated the Swadeshi movement involving the boycott of all imported items and the use of Indian-made goods in 1907 during the anti-Partition agitation in Bengal which began in 1905. They were also known as the "Radicals of The Indian Independence Movement". [citation needed]

The final years of the nineteenth century saw a radical sensibility emerge among some Indian intellectuals. This position burst onto the national all-India scene in 1905 with the Swadeshi movement - the term is usually rendered as "self reliance" or "self sufficiency".[1][2][3][4]

Lal Bal Pal mobilised Indians across the country against the Bengal partition, and the demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of British goods that began in Bengal soon spread to other regions, in a broader protest against the Raj.[citation needed]

The nationalist movement gradually faded with the arrest of its main leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and retirement of Bipin Chandra Pal and Aurobindo Ghosh from active politics.[1] While Lala Lajpat Rai suffered from injuries, due to police superintendent James A. Scott's decision to order the policemen under his command to lathi (baton) charge a crowd Rai was in and personally assaulted Rai; he died on 17 November 1928 due to the injuries sustained in lathi charge.[5]
