    D All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ● Option D is correct: During the 1890s, Tilak propagated a spirit of militant nationalism, including the use of violence, through Ganapati and Shivaji festivals and his journals Kesari and Maharatta. In 1903, Tilak wrote the book "The Arctic Home in the Vedas". In this book, he argued that the Vedas could only have been composed in the Arctics and the Aryans brought them south after the onset of the last ice age. In "The Orion", he tried to calculate the time of the Vedas by using the position of different Nakshatras. Tilak wrote "Shrimad Bhagvad Gita Rahasya" in prison at Mandalay which is known to be a gift of the Vedas and the Upanishads.
