British Indian Civil Service under Bulwer-Lytton; founded the Indian National Congress 1885; joined the Theosophical Society 1880 (Šimlā lodge president 1881). His 1848 Paris encounter with "the Association" of Asiatic-origin elite figures who claimed to have intervened against the 1848 European revolutions and the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny — one of the most enigmatic documented testimonies in the cross-corpus reading.
