Young India, Vol. 1 No. 1 (India Home Rule League of America, New York, January 1918)
Cover of the first issue of the monthly Young India, with the greeting 'Bande Mataram' above a rayed map of India. The cover headlines name authorities and a prestigious addressee: 'Message to President Wilson' and 'Commander Wedgwood and Montagu on Indian Government'. The tell is the billing of a sitting US president and named British political figures, so their standing is borrowed for the home-rule case.
