S.M. Paranjape : Shivaram Mahādev Paranjape (1864-1929): scholar, author, orator, professor of Sanskrit at Maharashtra College, Pune, started & edited two weeklies, the Marathi Kāl, & English Swarājya. “Shri Arvind Ghose, who had at Surat met the followers of Tilak…after a short stay at Bombay, visited Poona & stayed there for a couple of days early in January…. Prof Paranjape had invited Arvind to his residence…. A band of young men had, in strict secrecy, succeeded in manufacturing a few crude bombs. Arvind Babu’s presence in Poona was…the right opportunity for demonstrating their experiment. Tilak who accompanied Arvind was naturally an eye-witness to all that happened.” [Karandikar: 279]
