Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a freedom fighter from Maharashtra. He is known for his quote, 'Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it'. Swaraj means self governance. India was under the British for 300 years. Tilak was a part of the trio Lal, Bal, Pal, of the extremist Garam Dal.
Lal - Lala Lajpatrai

Garam means Hot.

A quote denouncing British Imperialism?
There's a website called British Empire Quotes. You may find what you need there.
Personally, I think quotes defending imperialism are more compelling, since they reveal better the true philosophy behind it.
For instance, this was said by Winston Churchill in 1938:
"I do not admit that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia, by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, has come in and taken its place."
