At the end of a long drawn-out ceremony, the purohit put a tilak on his forehead. |
But my revered friend, Mr. tilak said that this scheme is very much better than the Bengal scheme or any other scheme. |
His associates asked him why he had dared to alter his tilak or sect-mark. |
But it is not too much to say that the unanimous feeling of educated India went with Mr. tilak and regarded him as a martyr. |
Mr. tilak belonged by birth to a powerful Deccani Brahman caste with hereditary traditions of rulership. |
He wore a checkered shirt and a sarong, and had smeared his forehead with tilak. |
