It was founded by Dadabhai Naoroji in 1866, in collaboration with Indians and retired British officials in London.It superseded the London Indian Society and was a platform for discussing matters and ideas about India, and to provide representation for Indians to the Government.In 1868, the East India Association had nearly 600 members. This had increased to 1,000 in 1878. Female members were admitted from 1912.
