The British Indian Association was the first major voluntary association representing primarily Indian land-lord interests that was set up in Calcutta in 1851.<\/section>\n
The British Indian Association was founded on October 29, 1851, in Calcutta through the merger of the Landholders’ Society and the Bengal British India Society. While it aimed to represent a broader spectrum of Indian interests, its leadership and membership were dominated by the landed aristocracy and wealthy Bengali gentry, making landholder interests a primary focus.<\/section>\n
The Landholder\u2019s Society was indeed founded earlier, in 1838, and represented landlord interests, but the question asks for an association set up in 1851 which was also “major”. The British Indian Association, formed in 1851 by merging the Landholders’ Society, was a more significant and consolidated political body at that time. The Madras Native Association (1852) and the Bombay Association (1852) were important early political organizations but were located in Madras and Bombay, respectively, not Calcutta, and were founded in 1852, not 1851.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
