About the Book

Lokmanya Tilak indianised the language of the struggle of
independence and took it to the masses. Though he was called
an extremist during the freedom struggle; in real terms, he was
a moderate leader with magnanimity and courage at heart.
Lokmanya Tilak had, throughout his life, been an exponent
of radical changes in politics. He faced three trials on charges
of sedition, of which he was found guilty in two and faced
punishment, while he was honourably discharged in the third
case. This book will bring insight about the hardships he had
undergone in prison at Mandalay and during his lifetime in the
minds of the readers.
