1913 at the instance of some friends I undertook to write a few
articles for a magazine on the Rise and Growth of the Indian
National Congress, the most important and phenomenal movement in
the political history of new India. After only a few pages were
written, it was discovered that such a subject could not be
properly dealt with in the spare columns of any magazine in the
country without taxing its capacity to an unreasonable extent and
that for a much longer period than was perhaps consistent with the
sustained interest ofsuch a review. The idea was, therefore,
abandoned. In January following while turning over some of the
materials which I had collect ed and arranged for the articles, it
occurred to me that these might be published in the form of a
pamphlet so that they may be of some use to any one who may be
disposed to write a well-digested history of this evolutionary
movement. That is the origin of the little volume which is now
presented to the public. The book was fairly completed by July 1914
when it was partly handed over to Mr. G. A. Natesan of Madras, who
kindly undertook to illustrate and publish it. In August the Great
War broke out and as the book necessarily contained occasional
criticisms of Govern ment, it was deemed proper and expedient to
defer its publication until the War conditions were fairly settled.
