The names Lal, Bal and Pal refer to three great patriots, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal. They led the movement for Indian independence in the early 20th century, and launched the Swadeshi Movement. The three leaders changed the political discourse of the Independence movement.
This movement called for a boycott of all foreign goods and the use of only Indian goods. The three patriots organized demonstrations and strikes against the British.
The movement started in Bengal, but Lal, Bal, and Pal were able to reach out to Indians across the country.
British goods were burnt at public places. Women stopped wearing foreign bangles. Foreign goods like sugar and cloth were given up.
Above all, the people of India rediscovered the pride of self-reliance.
