आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

(1866–1915) College professor, legislator, and reformist Hindu, who worked
for much of his life with his older contemporary, Mahadev Govind Ranade.
Unlike Ranade, whose position as a
judge barred him from active political
involvement, Gokhale spent the last fifteen years of his life as a legislator.
Thirteen of these years were spent as
Bombay’s Indian representative to the
Imperial Legislative Council, the highest
lawmaking body in India. Like Ranade,
Gokhale sought to influence British policy by working within established institutions, in this case through the British
colonial government. This willingness to
compromise brought him opposition
from leaders such as Bal Gangadhar
Tilak, who advocated stiffer, even violent opposition to British rule.
