AUROBINDO GHOSE |
|
| Even while he
was a student in England, Aurobindo joined a band of young men who took part in activities
for the liberation of India. When he returned to India after fourteen years of stay in England, he took a job in the princely state of Baroda in the revenue department. Since he had spent most of his early years in England, he did not know much about the culture of India. So he started learning all about it and also his mother-tongue, Bengali. He read the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and other Sanskrit classics. Later Aurobindo went to the Baroda College as Professor of English and its Vice-Principal. At the same time he was engaged in secret political activities for the liberation of India. He wrote patriotic articles in papers like the Indu Prakash. |
