Extremists believed that moderate measures and making appeals to the British government would not result in any concrete change. Their stance was that India should demand total self-rule, and they advocated strikes, boycotts, and agitations. Lala Lajpat Rai in Punjab, Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Maharashtra and Bipin Chandra Pal in Bengal led this movement in their respective regions, and their trio came to be known as 'Lal-Bal-Pal'.
