Prison
After the death of Rajaram, Maharaja of Kolhapur
State, his adopted son Shivaji Rao became the Maharaja. 'Kesari' published articles
condemning the cruel way in which the British treated him. When the people came to know of
the tyranny of the British, unrest gripped Pune and Kolhapur. The Government filed a case
against 'Kesari' (for publishing the facts!). The young editors Agarkar and Tilak were
sentenced to 4 months' rigorous imprison- ment. Tilak went to the prison with his friend
Agarkar. |
