Mubarak Ali Khan who came to the US in 1913 and had become a successful farmer in Arizona, founded the Indian Welfare League in 1937 to gain support for India’s independence and US citizenship rights for Indians. J. J Singh came to the United States to establish business and became a successful merchant in New York. He became president of India League of America in 1940 and the League’s mouthpiece India Today—a well-edited informative monthly bulletin. He also expanded its membership base to include Americans, including Nobel Prize winner author Pearl Buck who became League’s Honorary President in 1944. J. J. Singh’s public relations campaigns and lobbying efforts convinced significant sections of the American public, including members of the United States Congress that the time had come for India to be liberated. Dr. Anup Singh became very active in India League of America and was editor of India Today for a few years. Anup later moved to Washington D.C to lobby for India issues more aggressively and started The National Committee for India’s Freedom. He also published a monthly magazine Voice of India to disseminate the message of India’s nationalist movement.
