On Nationalism

This book presents a selection of Sri Aurobindo s political writings and speeches, mostly from the period 1906 10 when he was one of the leaders of the nationalist school of Indian politics that advocated full independence from British rule. During this time he edited and wrote for three newspapers in which the doctrines and principles of this movement were formulated. Some writings from before and after this period are also included, such as the New Lamps for Old articles published in 1893 94, his comments on the reform proposals of 1918, and his message of 15 August 1947.
