important public personalities of the presidency, like rangaiah naidu, s. subramania iyer, and g. subramania iyer, attended the first session of the indian national congress. however, some prominent personalities like eardley norton, salem ramaswami mudaliar, c. jambulingam mudaliar, t. madhava rao and r. raghunatha rao did not participate in the first session. nevertheless, the indian national congress, with its ideals actively propagated by members of the theosophical society grew by leaps and bounds, that the 1887 session of the congress held in madras city and presided over by madhava rao was a tremendous success. the visiting dignitaries were welcomed by lord connemara, the then governor of madras. in 1889, eardley norton and salem ramaswami mudaliar led an indian delegation to the united kingdom to set up a uk chapter of the indian national congress.
