About Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee

Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee was an Indian independence activist and barrister who practised in England. He was a secretary of the London Indian Society founded by Dadabhai Naoroji in 1865. He was one of the founders and the first president of Indian National Congress in 1885 at Bombay, serving again as president in 1892 at Allahabad. Bonnerjee financed the British Committee of Congress and its journals in London.
