"The present book is about a different outlook and approach of Bal Gangadhar Tilak towards Indian National Congress. This book highlights him as great journalist, staunch supporter of Swadeshi Movement and a believer in Hindu traditions and way of life. He was a humanitarian and a great legislator and believer in violence but not in armed violence. He was a critic of the government and wanted to change the very method of demanding rights. He condemned child marriage, ban on widow marriage or caste system. The book is of great importance for the scholars, researchers, students, teachers and historians as well pertaining to this sphere." (jacket)
