Abhinav Bharat Society (Young India Society) was a secret society founded by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1904. Initially founded at Nasik while still a student Fergusson College at Pune, the society developed from an organisation called Mitra Mela. In 1906, Savarkar, during his stay at India House in London, extended the organisation, which became a meeting ground for radical Indian nationalists. Some cite influences of Mazzini's Young Italy in the organisation.
Famous quotes containing the word society:
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
