註釋Gopal Krishna Gokhale, the great liberal and parliamentarian, was a key figure in the struggle for Independence. Mahatma Gandhi regarded him as his political 'guru'. This book chronicles Gokhale's meteoric rise to prominence in the Indian political scene, starting from his humble beginnings to his death in 1915. The book paints a many-hued picture of Gopal Krishna as president of the Indian National Congress, unofficial member of the opposition, active member of the central legislature, and founder of the 'Servants of India Society'. His mild temperament, eloquence and appeal to reason made him one of the more popular figures of the time. This book celebrates not just the freedom fighter and the parliamentarian who played a key role in crushing British imperialism in India, but also the man who made spirituality and goodness intrinsic parts of the struggle for freedom.
