A. G. Horniman

A. G. Horniman

A. G. Horniman was a British national who was active in the Indian Independence Movement during the early-20th century. He promoted militant nationalism through the issues of the Bombay chronicle, and himself participated in activities associated with the Satyagraha. He published detailed accounts of Jallianwala Bagh massacre for which one of his correspondents (namely, Goverdhan Das) was imprisoned for three years. Horniman was also arrested, and deported to London.

Mumbai’s Horniman Circle Gardens, a large park in South Mumbai, India, is named after him.
