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.
The organization was founded by Shyamji Krishna Varma, with support from a number of prominent Indian nationalists in Britain at the time, including BhikajiCama, DadabhaiNaoroji, and S.R. Rana, and LalaLajpatRai. It 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 modeled 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 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. It recruited from amongst young Indian activists, collected money, and may have been collecting arms and maintaining close contact with revolutionary movements in India.
