The book gives an account of all the court cases faced by Lokamanya Tilak in his life and shows how Tilak did not get justice in the Temple of Justice though ultimately his views were accepted both by the High Court at Bombay and the Privy Council in London.
The book, though it deals with court cases, avoids uninteresting details of the evidence of the witnesses and the drab arguments of the lawyers. So far, there is no book narrating all the trials faced by Tilak. Hence, the reader, though he may not be familiar with law, would find this book quite interesting and revealing several noble and rare qualities of Tilak.
