  • The Shivaji and Ganapati festivals in Western India (Maharashtra) were organized by Lokmanya Tilak to spread the swadeshi message and boycott movements among the masses.
  • The Swadeshi and boycott movements placed great emphasis on ' Atmasakti ' or self-reliance as a means of reasserting national dignity in different fields.
