Bal Gangadhar Tilak was one of the leaders who started the Indian Home Rule League.

The Indian Home Rule movement was a movement in British India for self-rule (Home Rule) on the lines of the Irish Home Rule movement. It gained momentum during World War I. Two main Home Rule Leagues were established: one led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, founded in April 1916 in Belgaum, and the other led by Annie Besant, founded in September 1916 in Adyar, Madras.

The Home Rule Leagues aimed to achieve self-government within the British Empire through constitutional means. They organized public meetings, published pamphlets, and collected funds to spread the message of Home Rule across India. Gopal Krishna Gokhale was a prominent moderate leader who died before the movement gained full momentum. Mahatma Gandhi joined the mainstream national movement later and launched other significant campaigns. J. B. Kripalani was a prominent figure in the later stages of the freedom movement.
