The biographical sequence—graduate at 18; professor and associate editor of the Sudharak at 20; Secretary of the Sarvajanik Sabha and of the Provincial Conference at 25; Secretary of the Indian National Congress at 29; leading witness before a Royal Commission at 31; provincial legislator at 34; Imperial legislator at 36; and President of the Indian National Congress at 39—together with the statement that Mahatma Gandhi regarded the subject as his master, uniquely identifies Gopal Krishna Gokhale. A reproduced question-and-answer entry explicitly names Gopal Krishna Gokhale in association with this description.
