Sir Surendranath Banerjee (1848 – 1925) was one of the earliest Indian political leaders during the British Raj and one of the founders of modern India. One of the first Indians to join the Indian civil service, he was dismissed (1874) for a minor error and was considered by many to be the victim of discrimination. He became a teacher in Calcutta and editor of the nationalist paper Bengalee, and in 1876 he founded the Indian Association, a predecessor of the Indian National Congress. He served twice (1895, 1902) as president of the latter organization but withdrew in 1918 to espouse a more moderate nationalism that called for Hindu-Muslim cooperation and gradual reform. Knighted in 1921, he served (1921–24) as minister for local self-government in Bengal. He was a founder of Ripon College in Calcutta, which in 1947 was renamed Surendranath College. Banerjee died in 1925. He is remembered and widely respected today as a pioneer leader of Indian politics.
