Explanation
★Tilak regarded Swaraj as not only a right but a dharma, so the answer is dharma.
★His famous slogan was that Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it.
★Yet for Tilak Swaraj was also a sacred duty, a dharma to be pursued.
★Drawing on the Gita, he taught selfless action in the cause of the nation.
