India League

The India League was an England-based organisation established by Krishna Menon in 1928.

[3] It has been described as "the principal organisation promoting Indian nationalism in pre-war Britain".

[5] In 1931, Mahatma Gandhi praised the efforts of the Indian League for its "hurricane propaganda on the danger to world peace of a rebellious India in bondage".

[6] Members of the League were largely drawn from the British elite, such as Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma, Bertrand Russell, Harold Laski, Sir Stafford Cripps, Henry Brailsford, Leonard Matters, and Michael Foot, although a branch was established in the East End of London in the early 1940s, in order to attract more supporters from the South Asian community there.

Branches could be established by groups of five or more people, subject to the approval of the League's executive committee.
