Lala Lajpat Rai was famously known as the 'Lion of Punjab' for his fierce nationalism and role in the independence movement. He was part of the Lal-Bal-Pal triumvirate (with Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal). Gokhale was known as a moderate leader, Tilak was 'Father of Indian Unrest', and Ranjit Singh was the 19th-century Sikh ruler, not associated with this title.
