He was a devout Hindu, advocated social reforms like [[female education]], widow remarriage and removal of [[Untouchability]]. As a follower of [[Gopal Krishna Gokhale|Gokhale]], he believed that developing nationalism required British cooperation and therefore the national movement should be constitutional and nonviolent. He was in the Congress from 1888 to 1917, and thereafter joined the Liberals. He was in the Congress delegation of 1890 sent to England to voice the grievances of the Indians. He was President of the Indian National Congress held at Bankipur in 1912.<br />

He admired Parliamentary democracy but opposed British bureaucracy. He criticised the economic policy of the Government, helped to establish a number of industries in Vidarbha and advocated technical education. He founded several social organisations and worked for the uplift of the poor. He died on 13 January 1921.<ref>http://www.congresssandesh.com/AICC/history/presidents/rao_bahadur_raghunath_narasinha.htm</ref><br />
