Cambridge Majlis

The Cambridge University Majlis, also known as the Cambridge Majlis, is a South Asian cultural and debating society in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1891, the society became an intellectual, social and practical hub for anti-colonial thinking and action alongside its counterparts in Oxford (founded in 1896) and London.

The Cambridge Majlis has a long and extensive tradition of hosting important leaders, both from South Asia and otherwise, including Mohandas Gandhi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, E. M. Forster, Charles Freer Andrews, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Sarojini Naidu, Lala Lajpat Rai and John Maynard Keynes.

Previous presidents of the Cambridge Majlis have included Amartya Sen and Jatindra Mohan Sengupta. Notable past members include Subhas Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru and Aurobindo Ghose.
