Against all odds, one man courageously takes a stand in a historic legal battle, a true story that is now revealed to Maharaj, more than 160 years later.

A student at Elphinstone College in Mumbai and protégé of academic leader Dadabhai Naoroji, he wrote on widow remarriage, defended the oppressed and sowed the seeds of reform in society. It all came to a head in the Maharaj libel case of 1862, which was sparked by allegations of misconduct on the part of a prominent figure. The case has attracted extensive attention and scrutiny, setting the stage for what many consider one of the most significant legal battles. of all time,” he adds.
