East India Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The East India Association (EIA) was a London-based organisation for matters concerning India. Its members were Indians and retired British officials.[1]

About the Society[]

The East India Association was founded by Dadabhai Naoroji in 1866. The first President of the Association was Lord Lyveden. Meetings were held in Caxton Hall, Westminster. The EIA incorporated the National Indian Association in 1949, and became the Britain, India and Pakistan Association. In 1966 it amalgamated with the Royal India, Pakistan and Ceylon Society, and became the Royal Society for India, Pakistan and Ceylon.
