Pal broadly shared this view, while also advocating peaceful resistance when constitutional means failed. Tilak, however, argued more forcefully for active resistance, drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and giving voice to the demand for swaraj. His use of public festivals such as Shivaji and Ganapati also helped carry nationalist politics into a wider public arena.\u003cbr\u003eTogether, their ideas and methods mark an important shift in the direction and character of India's freedom movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eProfessor Bidyut Chakrabarty served Visva-Bharati as its Vice Chancellor from 2018 to 2023.
