About this title

Synopsis

Language: - English, About The Book : This band of patriotic workers, however, had soon to pass through an ordeal. The Kesari and the Mahratta published some articles severely criticising the treatment given to H. H. Shivajirao, the late Maharaja of Kolhapur, and the then Karbhari of the State Mr. M. W. Barve, consequently prosecuted Mr. Tilak and Mr. Agarkar as editors of the Mahratta and the Kesari respectively for defamation. To add to the troubles, while the case was pending Mr. V. K. Chiplunkar died, and soon after his death Messesrs. Tilak and Agarkar were convicted and sentenced to simple imprisonment for four months. The Kolhapur trial only served to increase the popularity of the School and the two papers. Willing assistance came from all sides. After Mr. Chiplunkar's death, Mr. Tilak was, for a long time, the guiding spirit and Mr. Namjoshi the active member of this small band. In the latter part of 1884 they resolved to give themselves a statutory existence, and with that view they formed the Deccan Education Society of Poona, with themselves as its first body of life-members. They were soon joined by the late Professor V. B. Kelkar, Professor Dharap, ani Professor M. S. Gole, while later on came Prof. Gokhale, Prof. Bhanu, and also Prof. Patankar.
