Indian Patriot : English daily of Madras, edited (c.1909) by C. Karunakara Menon.
... Aurobindo described with playful irony his varied "friends" - the Hare Street friend, the Police-wallah, the Madras friend - and replied to their "friendly" suggestions. The Madras friend (the Indian Patriot) had advised Sri Aurobindo to eschew politics and take to Sannyasa; the police would very much like him not to open his mouth "too much"; and the Hare Street friend (the Englishman) had ...
... writes from divine inspiration, sattwic intelligence, and unshakable determination.... None equal to Aravinda in self-sacrifice, knowledge and sincerity." H. W. Nevinson (as quoted in the Indian Patriot) on Sri Aurobindo : "A man of very fine culture, his is a lovable nature, 1. Rise and Growth of Indian Militant Nationalism.

... silenced by its brain. So Boycott was declared. Had the Indian Patriot been the mouthpiece of Bengal it would have asked for a plan of operations. But what plan of operations could have been given? So we see from this one great example what Srijut Aurobindo Ghose meant when he said that it was God's work and not man's. If the Indian Patriot can show us who planned the Boycott, or how it has been... heart knows first and whoever can go beyond the brain to the heart, will hear the voice of the Eternal. This is what Srijut Aurobindo Ghose said in his Bombay speech. But our contemporary, the Indian Patriot , has lamented his downfall from the high pedestal of culture he once occupied. Our contemporary has forgotten the teachings of Vivekananda which were once so powerful in Madras. What does he think ...

... Bande Mataram. ... In the history of press prosecutions in this country, we have not come across a man who has been more conspicuous by reason of his ability and force of character. The Indian Patriot wrote that millions of his countrymen were at that moment doing homage to Sri Aurobindo's genius and "pronouncing his name with reverence and gratitude", and added: Mr. Aurobindo Ghose... students, past and present, of the Baroda College, in a meeting assembled, convey our warmest sympathy to our late Vice-Principal Mr. Ghose in ,. present trouble." And a contributor to the Indian Patriot, who signed himself "A.S.M.", asseverated in the course of his eulogy: "Slaves of ease and security, the butterflies of the hour look small and pitiable by his side." The prosecution ...
... which has baffled Irish Nationalism. If it continues to exist, it will baffle Indian Nationalism also. Although, therefore, Liberal and Conservative are one in their attitude towards India, every Indian patriot must watch with keen interest the result of the struggle and desire, not the success of the departing Ministry, but victory for the destroyers of the Lords' veto.

No Englishman in a similar situation would have done it unless actually put in the witness box, but for an Indian patriot, we admit, it would have been the natural course if the Printer could have been saved by his self-devotion but it is perfectly obvious that the Printer would still have been liable under the statute ...
... suggestion. There were other friends who were nearer to us than those he had mentioned, but they also were dissatisfied with his activities. There was, for instance, a friend in Madras ( The Indian Patriot ) who invited him to give up politics and become a Sannyasi. This anxiety for his spiritual welfare somewhat surprised him at the time, but he was yet more surprised by the persistence of his friend's ...
... justice, but to our own reviving sense of manhood, to our own sincere fellow-feeling... with the silent and suffering people of India. 32 In another place, Sri Aurobindo remarked that the Indian patriot had more to learn from the French republican experiment (or even the Athenian) than from the British: But if we carry our glance across the English Channel, we shall witness a very different ...
... nation. As might have been expected, the Bombay speech was widely discussed and commented upon, praised as well as criticised for the same reason - it made a religion of Nationalism! The Indian Patriot lamented Sri Aurobindo's fall from his cultural (or intellectual) eminence and his open derogation of the reasoning faculty. The Bande Mataram of 22 February made a direct reference to the ...
... spread all over India like wildfire. And the nation grieved. On 22 August the Bande Mataram reprinted extracts from many newspapers, such as Indian Daily News, Empire, Maharatta, Madras Standard, Indian Patriot, etc. Thus the young man who was not so well known publicly outside Bengal, became an all-India household name overnight. So far people had been wont to think that the pithy and pungent articles ...
... Such a pitiful Page 140 exhibition will not increase the respect of the subject race for its rulers. The Indian Mirror comes out with an article on the selfishness of Indian patriots. According to this self-satisfied critic Mr. T. Palit and the Indian Mirror are the only unselfish men in Bengal. Rajas Subodh Mallik and Brajendra Kishore of Gauripur are notoriety-hunters who... 08-September-1906 The Mirror complains piteously that the country is in the hands of extremists on one side and ultra-moderates on the other, while the voices of sitters on the fence like the Indian Mirror go totally unheard. It is hard on our contemporary. But he should realise that a time has come in the history of the nation when men must take one side or the other, if they wish to count for ...
... uncertain, perhaps life-long duration. One other element it has introduced which patriots have had to face in all other countries, but which falls on our heads for the first time,—the punishment of exile. To speak Page 433 the truth, this is the one and only terror of deportation to Indian patriots. The Indian mind with its passionate attachment to the very soil of the mother-country, its... except perhaps the passionate and emotional Italian, could understand. In jail the floor we tread is at least made of Indian soil; when we exercise in the prison yard, the air that visits our cheeks is Indian air; the pulsation of Indian aspiration, Indian emotion, Indian life, Indian joys and sorrows beats around our prison walls and floods our hearts with the magnetic pervasiveness of which the air... blundered upon an ingenious way of striking us in a very vulnerable point when it hurried Lajpat Rai away to a remote corner of the world among alien men and cut him off from all sight of Indian faces and communion with Indian hearts. But what then? It is but one suffering the more, and the deeper the suffering the greater the glory, the more celestial the reward. We cannot suffer more than Poerio in his ...

There was in consequence a great agitation among our local friends and ...

India had to feel the impact of this War to a considerable extent, though it was mostly our own doing. Perhaps the patriots and lovers of Indian freedom had been losing their patience and they thought that the discomfiture of England was going to be their last and best opportunity; so they created a good deal of trouble.

... On 4 April 1910, a significant event occurred: Sri Aurobindo, poet, patriot and Yogi, arrived in Pondicherry from Bengal. Towards the end of 1910, V. V. S. Aiyar - Barrister Savarkar's comrade-in-arms - also arrived, escaping from the prison that was British India. Pondicherry was fast becoming the refuge of Indian patriots, and also the radiating centre of a new renaissance, offering a new hope... India - as Sri Aurobindo had seen Her - verily as the Mother, and to sing Her praises. The murder of Collector Ashe at Maniyachi in 1911 turned the suspicion of the Indian Government to the refugee patriots in Pondicherry. They were harassed in various ways, and every attempt was made to abduct and bring them to India, though, in vain. Meantime Bharati the poet was not idle: actually... stimulant, a guardian angel, while Sri Aurobindo was even more - a *spell-binder, an inspiration, a veritable Krishna to this neophyte Arjuna. All three, besides being patriots of the first order, were also lovers of poetry and of Indian culture and philosophy. Their discussions must have been at once vastly interesting and wondrously fruitful, and Bharati's poetry now acquired a depth, an intensity and ...
