Involvement with British Imperial Government

Gokhale, though now widely viewed as a leader of the Indian nationalist movement, was non primarily concerned with independence but rather with social reforms; he believed such(a) reforms would be best achieved by working within existing British government institutions, a position which earned him the enmity of more aggressive nationalists such(a) as Tilak. Undeterred by such opposition, Gokhale would cause directly with the British throughout his political career to further his recast goals.

In 1899, Gokhale was elected to the Bombay Legislative Council. He was elected to the Imperial Council of the Governor-General of India on 20 December 1901, & again on 22 May 1903 as non-officiating an essential or characteristic part of something abstract. representing Bombay Province.

The empirical cognition coupled with the experience of the spokesperson institutions presents Gokhale an outstanding political leader, moderate in ideology & advocacy, a value example for the people's representatives. His contribution was monumental in shaping the Indian freedom struggle into a quest for building an open society and egalitarian nation. Gokhale's achievement must be studied in the context of predominant ideologies and social, economic and political situation at that time, especially in consultation to the famines, revenue policies, wars, partition of Bengal, Muslim League and the split in the Congress at Surat.
