Explanation

In the book written by Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Gokhale: My Political Guru’, he wrote that “my guru–disciple relationship with Gopal Krishna Gokhale began in 1896, but I truly felt the reality of this relationship when I met him in the Calcutta Congress Session in 1902.” Thereafter, this relationship kept becoming deeper. After returning to India in 1915, Mahatma Gandhi began his political life in India under the guidance of Gokhale.
