The present president of Indian Rationalist Association Sanal Edamaruku was elected in 2005. He was the General Secretary of the association from 1984 till 2005. The earlier name of Indian Rationalist Association was "Rationalist Association of India", and the founding president was R. P. Paranjpe. The organisation published a journal "Reason". The organisation and journal ceased to exist after a few years. Later in 1949, the organisation was re-organised in Madras (present Chennai)in 1949 at Chennai (then Madras).

Ramanathan was the Secretary and he edited and published The Indian Rationalist. After the demise of S. Ramanathan, Prof.R.S. Yadav from Meerut became the President of the Association. When he became the vice-chancellor of Meerut university, Ellen Roy from Dehradun, wife of M.N.Roy, was elected the new president. Upon her death in 1960, the head quarters of Indian Rationalist Association was once again moved to Madras, and was revived by Dr. G.N.Jyothi Sankar.
