Question: who won season 8 of america's next top model

20-year-old Jaslene Gonzalez from Chicago, Illinois


British Indian Association - wikipedia British Indian Association Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Bengal in 1857 was not prepared for systematic political efforts for the achievement of a well - defined political programme . There were , however , bold adventurers who could perceive dimly the inevitable trend in India 's political evolution . Harish Chandra Mukherjee wrote in the Hindu Patriot on 14 January 1858 , in connection with the proposal for transferring the government of India to the Crown : `` Can a revolution in the Indian government be authorised by Parliament without consulting the wishes of vast millions of men for whose benefit it is proposed to be made ? The reply must be in the negative . The time has nearly come when all Indian questions must be solved by Indians . '' Sengupta , Nitish The British Indian Association was established on 31 October 1851 . Its formation was a major event of 19th - century India . Its establishment meant Indians had come together and could no longer be ignored . It developed enormous hopes amongst the Indians about their future . The first committee of the association was composed of : Raja Radhakanta Deb -- President , Raja Kalikrishna Deb -- Vice-President , Debendranath Tagore -- secretary , Digambar Mitra -- Asst Secretary , members -- Raja Staya Saran Ghosal , Harakumar Tagore , Prasanna Coomar Tagore , Ramanath Tagore , Jay Krishna Mukerjee , Asutosh Deb , Harimohan Sen , Ramgopal Ghosh , Umesh Chandra Dutta ( Rambagan ) , Krishna Kishore Ghosh , Jagadananda Mukhopadhyay , Peary Chand Mitra , and Sambhunath Pandit . Most of the early leaders of the British Indian Association were conservatives by tradition and temperament , although there were some progressive like Ramgopal Ghosh and Peary Chand Mitra . It was formed by the amalgamation of the Landholders ' Society and the Bengal British India Society . Contents ( hide ) 1 Landholders ' Society 2 British India Society 3 Objectives and extent of British Indian Association 4 Criticism 5 References Landholders ' Society ( edit ) It gave to the people the first lesson in the art of fighting constitutionally for their rights , and taught them manfully to assert their claims and give expression to their opinions . Ostensibly , it advocated the rights of zamindars , but as their rights were intimately bound up with those of the ryots , the one can not be separated from the other . Mitra , Rajendra Lal The Zamindari Association , which was later renamed Landholders ' Society , was established in 1838 by Dwarkanath Tagore , Prasanna Kumar Tagore , Radhakanta Deb , Ramkamal Sen and Bhabani Charan Mitra . It has been described as `` the first organisation of Bengal with distinct political object . '' The society virtually became defunct after the death of Dwarkanath Tagore . British India Society ( edit ) The British India Society was set up in 1839 in England primarily as a result of the efforts of William Adam , who had come to India and befriended Ram Mohan Roy . On his return to England he took up India 's cause . Others involved were George Thompson , William Ednis , and Major General Briggs . They organised meetings and enlightened people about conditions in India . In 1841 , it started publishing a newspaper named British Indian Advocate , edited by Professor William Adam In 1842 , Dwarkanath Tagore went to England , accompanied by Chandramohan Chatterjee and Paramananda Maitra , . It was the second visit abroad by educated Indians and the first since that of Ram Mohan Roy . Dwarkanath Tagore returned from England with George Thompson . His oratory charmed everybody and drew in Young Bengal members such as Ramgopal Ghosh , Tarachand Chakrabarti and Peary Chand Mitra . As a result of the efforts of George Thompson the Bengal British India Society was founded on 20 April 1843 . The object of the society was to secure the welfare , and advance the interests of all classes , but it would `` adopt and recommend such measures only as are consistent with pure loyalty to the person and government of the reigning sovereign of the British dominions . '' Its first executive committee consisted of four Europeans and eleven Indians with George Thompson as President , GF Remfry and Ramgopal Ghosh as Vice-Presidents , Peary Chand Mitra as Secretary . The members on the committee were Tarachand Chakrabarti , Dakshinaranjan Mukherjee , Brojonath Dhar , Krishna Mohan Banerjee , Hari Mohan , Govind Chandra Sen , Chandra Sekhar Deb , Shyama Charan Sen and Satkari Datta . There were people like Ramtanu Lahiri , also associated in some way . In 1849 , John Elliot Drinkwater Bethune prepared drafts of certain legislative efforts aimed at bringing the British - born subjects of the crown under the jurisdiction of the British East India Company , but the Europeans named these bills the Black Acts and opposed them tooth and nail . This opposition led Indians to think that their fortunes were not linked to those of the Europeans and that they needed associations of Indians to take care of their interests . Moreover , some changes were anticipated with the possible termination of the Company 's charter . Ramgopal Ghosh and Digamber Mitra played a particularly significant role in the formation of the British Indian Society . Objectives and extent of British Indian Association ( edit ) During the early years the activities of the association consisted mainly of submissions of petitions to the Government and to the British Parliament on grievances . There was an inherent trust in the good intentions of the rulers . The association sought to take up issues on behalf of all sections of society but occasionally it made conscious efforts to protect the right of the landed aristocracy . Despite its shortcomings , it was the only association of Indians which took up their causes and represented to the government . From the very beginning , the British Indian Association had an all - India outlook . Associations were formed in different parts of the country and they maintained correspondence with each other . Its first annual report noted with satisfaction the formation at Poona , Madras and Bombay successively of associations of similar nature , `` though they elected to carry on operations independently . '' In Lucknow , Dakshinaranjan Mukherjee established the Awadh British Indian Association in 1871 and campaigned for the formation of a provincial government with equal number of nominated and elected legislators . Criticism ( edit ) The British Indian Association has been roundly criticised by subsequent political stalwarts . Ambika Charan Mazumdar , a Congress President , wrote : `` Constructive policy they had none and seldom , if ever , they laid down any programme of systematic action for the political advancement of the country . '' Bipin Chandra Pal complained that it had failed to cover the country with a network of branches . However , the British Indian Association played a catalytic role in building up political consciousness in India and more effective organisations followed . The Indian Association was formed in 1876 , and the Indian National Congress in 1885 . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Sengupta , Nitish K. ( 2001 ) . History of the Bengali - speaking People .
