In 1909 Sri Aurobindo declared : Since 1907,we are living in a new era which is full of hope for India. Not only India, but the whole world will see sudden upheavals and revolutionary changes. The high will become low and the low high. The oppressed and the depressed shall be elevated. The nation and humanity will be animated by new consciousness, new thought and new efforts will be made to reach new ends. Amidst these revolutionary changes, India will become free.
