In 1908, Tilak was again brought to trial with sedition charges. He was prosecuted for his article in Kesari entitled ‘These remedies are not lasting’, and also for his articles condemning the death of two British women in a bomb blast enforced for the killing of Mr. Kingsford, Sessions Judge, at Muzaffarpur in Bengal. He blamed the Government for its selfish and tyrannical policy, and the contemptuous and insulting manner in which it treated the people of Bengal. A special jury was empanelled, which found Tilak guilty of all the charges, and passed their verdict to the Judge. The Judge, then, sentenced him to six years of rigorous imprisonment (three years on each charge of sedition) along with a fine of Rs.1,000. His imprisonment resulted in demonstrations, due to which the marketplaces, schools and colleges were shut. London Times, in its article, acknowledged the real importance of Tilak’s conviction, and called him the undisputed leader of the Extremists’ Movement in India. Indian Press, on the other hand, expressed dissatisfaction with the injustice done to Tilak. He was first sent to Sabarmati Jail, and was then transferred to Mandalay. In Mandalay, he was confined to a small cell, but he was permitted to have his own food cooked by a Brahmin convict. He was also given books and periodicals on various subjects to read. Tilak was finally released from Mandalay, and liberated in front of his residence at the midnight of 16 June 1914.
