About Sri Aurobindo and the Hooghly Conference
Drawing on personal accounts by the participants, contemporary newspaper and journal articles, and archival notes and documents published in research journals, the author provides a brief history of the Hooghly Conference held in September 1909, which Sri Aurobindo attended as an elected delegate and leader of the Nationalist wing of the Congress Party. He describes Sri Aurobindo's leadership and his efforts to forge unity within the party without sacrificing the ideal of complete independence for India.
