AUROBINDO GHOSE |
|
| Aurobindo also
took part in the political activities of India and came into contact with Indian leaders
like Tilak and LajpatRai. In the Calcutta Congress of 1906, he along with Tilak made the Congress accept a fourfold programme for the country. They were: self-government; spread of national education; swadeshi movement and boycott of foreign goods. Later, Aurobindo left Baroda and went to Calcutta where he became Professor of English and Principal of the newly-started National College. He wrote patriotic articles in the papers. He toured many parts of the country preaching nationalism. He said nationalism was religion and it came from God. Swadeshi was the service of God. His message electrified the country. At about this time, a couple of youths threw a bomb on a passing carriage thinking it carried a magistrate. It killed two European ladies travelling in it. |
