BAL GANGADHAR TILAK

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.
