Indian Home Rule society - wikipedia Indian Home Rule society The Indian Home Rule Society ( IHRS ) was an Indian organisation founded in London in 1905 that sought to promote the cause of self - rule in British India.

Rana, and was intended to be a rival organisation to the British Committee of the Indian National Congress that was the main avenue of the loyalist opinion at the time. Founded on 18 February 1905, the IHRS was a metropolitan organisation modelled after Victorian public institutions of the time. It had a written constitution and the stated aims to `` secure Home Rule for India, and to carry on a genuine Indian propaganda in this country by all practicable means ''. The IHRS was open for membership `` to Indians only '', and found significant support amongst Indian students and other Indian populations in Britain.
