TELANG, KASHINATH TRIMBAK (1850-1893)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 509 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TELANG, KASHINATH TRIMBAK (1850-1893) , Indian judge and oriental scholar, was born at Bombay on the 3oth of August 1850. By profession an advocate of the high court, he also took a vigorous share in literary, social, municipal and political
work
 , as well as in the affairs of the university of Bombay, over which he presided as vice-
chancellor
  from 1892 till his death. At the age of five
Telang
  was sent to the Amarchaud Wadi vernacular school, and in 1859 entered the high school in Bombay which bears the name of Mountstuart
Elphinstone
 . Here he came under the influence of Narayan Mahadev Purmanand, a teacher of fine intellect and force of character, afterwards one of
Telang
 's most intimate friends.
From this school he passed to the
Elphinstone
  College, of which he became a fellow, and after taking the degree of M.A. and LL.B., decided to follow the example of Bal Mangesh Wagle, the first Indian admitted by the judges to practise on the
original
  side of the high court, a position more like the status of a barrister than a vakil or pleader. He passed the examination and was enrolled in 1872. His learning and other gifts soon brought him an extensive practice. He had complete command of the English language, and his intimacy with Sanskrit enabled him to study and quote the Hindu law-books with an ease not readily attained by European counsel. Telang, finding his career assured, declined an offer of official employment. But in 1889 he accepted a seat on the high court bench, where his judgments are recognized as authoritative, especially on the Hindu law. He was syndic of the university from 1881, and vice-
chancellor
  from 1892 till his death. In that year also he was elected president of the local branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. These two offices had never been held by a native of India before. The decoration of C.I.E. conferred on him in 1882 was a recognition of his services as a member of a mixed commission appointed by the government to deal with the educational
system
  of the whole of India. He was nominated to the local legislative council in 1884, but declined a similar position on the viceroy's council. Along with P.M. Metha, he was the originator of the Bombay Presidency Association. When a student he had won the Bhugwandas scholarship in Sanskrit, and in this language his later studies were profound. His
translation
  of the Bhagwadgita into English
prose
  and verse is a standard
work
 ; and he criticized Professor Weber's hypo-thesis that the story of the Ramayana was influenced by the Homeric epics. While devoted to the sacred classics of the Hindus, Telang did not neglect his own vernacular, Mahratti literature being enriched by his
translation
  of Lessing's Nathan the Wise, and an essay on Social Compromise. He died at Bombay on the 1st of September 1893.
