Consider the following statements and identify the person referred to therein with the help of the code given below: During his stay in England, he endeavoured to educate the British people about their responsibilities as rulers of India. He delivered speeches and published articles to support his opposition to the unjust and oppressive regime of the British Raj. In 1867, he helped to establish the East India Association of which he became the Honorary Secretary.

The description refers to Dadabhai Naoroji, the 'Grand Old Man of India'. During his extensive stay in England, Naoroji worked tirelessly to educate the British public and politicians about their moral and political responsibilities toward India [t2, t3]. He utilized speeches and articles to expose the 'unjust and oppressive' nature of British rule, famously developing the 'Drain Theory' [t3, t6]. In 1866–1867, he was instrumental in founding the East India Association in London, serving as its Honorary Secretary [c1, t2, t9]. The association's primary objective was to present the Indian point of view and advocate for fair treatment of Indians before the British public and Parliament [t6, t10]. Naoroji's efforts in Britain laid the groundwork for organized Indian nationalism, eventually leading to his role as a founding member and three-time President of the Indian National Congress [c1, t6].
