The correct options are

B They popularised the ideas of democracy and civil liberty
D Reformation of the Legislative Councils
One of the major achievements of the Early Nationalists was that they were able to successfully form a nation-wide awakening. They popularised the ideas of democracy and civil liberty, secularism and nationalism among Indians. Early Nationalists and social reformers like M. G. Ranade and Gopal Krishna Gokhale were influential in abolishing social evils like child marriage. They tried to put pressure on the British government to reform the Legislative Councils. They achieved success when the Indian Councils Act of 1892 was passed.
