Gopal Krishan Gokhale went to England in 1897 to give evidence before which commission?
Welby Commission
Gopal Krishna Gokhale was a prominent moderate leader of the Indian National Congress and a respected constitutional reformer.
In 1897, he travelled to England to give evidence before the Welby Commission — formally known as the Royal Commission on the Administration of the Expenditure of India — chaired by Lord Welby.
Gokhale's testimony before this commission brought him considerable public recognition; he argued for greater Indian control over India's finances and highlighted the drain of wealth to Britain.
The Hunter Commission (1882) dealt with education in India; the Fraser Commission (1902) was related to police; the Raleigh Commission (1902) was a Universities Commission — none of these were the body Gokhale addressed in 1897.
Hence, Gopal Krishna Gokhale gave evidence before the Welby Commission in 1897.
