Right from his younger days , Srinivasa Iyengar displayed an interest , though trivial , in politics . He attended the historically significant 1907 session of the Indian National Congress held at Surat which is remembered for the split between the moderates and the extremists . In 1908 , V. Krishnaswamy Iyer introduced him to Rash Behari Bose " as the son-in-law of Sir V. Bhashyam Aiyangar and in some ways greater than him " . However , Iyengar took politics seriously only after the Jallianwala Bagh episode
