8Some ICS men realized that unless Indian politicians with a popular following were brought into the government, political initiative would pass into the hands of intransigent elements. In 1907, Dunlop Smith received a letter from Harcourt Butler, later Governor of the United Provinces and of Burma. Butler wrote ‘Moderation does not last under the Indian sun. If the Government does not draw them to itself the Moderates will turn to the Extremists… Why not create an educational portfolio?… And why not make Gokhale the first member?’ But when a department of education was set up, it was Harcourt Butler who became the first member (or minister).Google Scholar
