ABSTRACT
dissatisfaction with the exclusive character of the British Indian Association led first to the establishment of the Indian League in 1875, by Sisir Kumar Ghose and his brother Motilal Ghose. The latter afterwards became the editor of the Amrita Bazar Patrika, whose history is intimately connected with the development of Nationalism in the last century in northern India. The Indian League, however, did not command popular support, and because of the difference of opinion with its secretary, Shum-bhoo Churan Mookerjee, a large number of its members soon joined the Indian Association.
