The Free India Society was a youth organization of Indian students in England, committed to obtaining the independence of India from British rule. Initially an intellectual group, it became a revolutionary outfit under its founding leader, Bhikaji Cama. This organization released a newspaper also called Free India Society to propagate revolutionary ideas.
The Free India Society was formed in 1906 under the influence of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar's plans and ambitions of removing the British rule from the then occupied India. The Free India society aimed on using violent methods such as killing the British officers. Madan Dhingra, under the orders of the founder of this group killed Curzon Wyllie, therefore getting hanged on August 17, 1909.
