Gopal Krishna Gokhale, born on May 9, 1866, was one
of the founding social and political leaders during the Indian Independence
Movement against the British Empire of India. His impact on the course of the Indian
nationalist movement was very considerable.
Through his close relationship with
the highest levels of British imperial government, Gokhale forced India's
colonial masters to recognize the capabilities of a new generation of educated
Indians and to include them more than ever before in the governing process.
His firm belief in the need for universal
education deeply inspired the next great man on the Indian political stage,
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
The younger generations of the country need to derive
inspirations and emulate his virtues in their lives to preserve the hard-earned
freedom and integrity of our country. A very rich tributes to this great social and political reformer on
his birth anniversary today…
