Other than Annie Besant, who among the following also launched a Home Rule Movement in India?

The Home Rule Movement in India was launched in 1916 as a response to the political vacuum during World War I. While Annie Besant established the All-India Home Rule League in September 1916, Bal Gangadhar Tilak had already founded the Indian Home Rule League in April 1916 [c1, t7]. Tilak's league operated primarily in Maharashtra (excluding Bombay), Karnataka, the Central Provinces, and Berar, while Besant's league covered the rest of India [t7]. Both leaders aimed to achieve self-government for India within the British Commonwealth through constitutional means and aggressive political propaganda [c1, t6]. Although other leaders like Motilal Nehru eventually joined the movement, Tilak is recognized as the primary co-founder alongside Besant [t1, t2]. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a moderate leader, had passed away in 1915, and Aurobindo Ghosh had retired from active politics to Pondicherry by this time [t6].
