| The most characterstic gift of Gokhale to India is the Servants of India Society. This was the outcome of his conviction that the country needed a selfless and intelligent band of workers to dedicate their lives to the service of the country. During his school/college days, he was known to learn English language to use it with sensitiveness and ability. His way was to commit good passages to memory. He could quote chapter and verse without a single mistake. His first public lecture on 'India Under the British Rule' at Kolhapur captivated the audience by his eloquence in the English language and his marshalling of facts. He became a member of the Imperial Legislative Council and was very active in Indian political movement till his death. | ||
