Nation is in remembrance of one of its greatest freedom fighters, Lokmanya Tilak, on his death centenary year 2020-2021. In his constant endeavour to achieve freedom, Tilak fought many battles. This was one of them.
Tilak was convicted for sedition in 1908 in a fiercely fought legal battle at the Bombay High Court for his two articles published in his daily newspaper “Maratha” The Lawyer who represented Tilak was a dashing & fearless Barrister M A Jinnah. Little did we know that Jinnah & Tilak enjoyed a great chemistry and friendship. Tilak was sentenced to 6 years of Rigorous Imprisonment and was sent to Mandalay to serve the same. The Judge was Dinshaw Davar. The Judge seemed to follow the wishes of his Masters ( The Brits ). The British Raj was so pleased that they conferred Knighthood upon Justice Davar.
