Sri Aurobindo great mystic and savant was the ardent promoter of the Federation of the World, which he expressed in his message on Aug 15, 1947, the day India became independent, which was also his Birthday. Relevant experts from his message are below:
"The third dream was a world-union forming the outer basis of a fairer, brighter and nobler life for all mankind. That unification of the human world is under way; there is an imperfect initiation organised but struggling against tremendous difficulties. But the momentum is there and it must inevitably increase and conquer. Here too India has begun to play a prominent part and, if she can develop that larger statesmanship which is not limited by the present facts and immediate possibilities but looks into the future and brings it nearer, her presence may make all the difference between a slow and timid and a bold and swift development. A catastrophe may intervene and interrupt or destroy what is being done, but even then the final result is sure. For unification is a necessity of Nature, an inevitable movement. Its necessity for the nations is also clear, for without it the freedom of the small nations may be at any moment in peril and the life even of the large and powerful nations insecure. The unification is therefore to the interests of all, and only human imbecility and stupid selfishness can prevent it; but these cannot stand for ever against the necessity of Nature and the Divine Will. But an outward basis is not enough; there must grow up an international spirit and outlook, international forms and institutions must appear, perhaps such developments as dual or multilateral citizenship, willed interchange or voluntary fusion of cultures. Nationalism will have fulfilled itself and lost its militancy and would no longer find these things incompatible with self-preservation and the integrality of its outlook. A new spirit of oneness will take hold of the human race."

Mahatma Gandhiji was an ardent supporter of the World Federation.
"Isolated independence is not the goal of the world-states. It is voluntary inter-dependence. "Young India, 17-7-24, p. 236
"The better mind of the world desires today not absolutely independent States warring one against another, but a federation of friendly inter-dependent States. The consummation of that event may be far off. I want to make no grand claim for our country. But I see nothing grand or impossible about our expressing our readiness for universal inter-dependence rather, than independence." Young India, 26-12-24, p. 425
"There is no limit to extending our service to our Neighbours across our State-made frontiers. God never made those frontiers." Young India, 31-12-31, p. 427
"The aspiration for independence is the aspiration that fires all nations in Europe. But that independence does not exclude voluntary partnership. Imperialistic ambition is inconsistent with partnership." Harijan, 3-7-37, p. 165
"The structure of a world federation can be raised only on foundation of non-violence, and violence will have to be totally given up in world affairs." Gandhiji’s Correspondence with the Government 1942-44, (1957), p. 143
"Federation is undoubtedly a greater and nobler end for free nations. It is a greater and nobler end for them to strive to promote Federation than be self-centered, seeking only to preserve their own freedom...The very first step to a world Federation is to recognize the freedom of conquered and exploited nations. "HarijanHarijan, 9-8-42, p. 265
"Today defense of citizenship is a defense of national commerce, i.e., exploitation. That exploitation presupposes the use of force for imposing commerce upon an unwilling people. Nations have, in a sense, therefore, almost become gangs of robbers, whereas they should be a peaceful combination of men and women united for the common good of mankind. In the latter case, their strength will lie not in their skill in the use of gunpowder, but in the possession of superior moral fiber."Young India, 21-10-26, p. 366

"...I go back with the hope, maybe the assurance, that here at San Francisco we have taken a step; we have made a move; we have advanced; and that sooner or later, perhaps sooner rather than later, there will be that far-off Divine event to which the whole creation moves: the convocation of the parliament of man, the establishment of the Federation of the World."
