This book explores the Indian tradition of liberalism through a
critical intellectual biography of Valangaiman Sankaranarayana
Srinivasa Sastri (1869–1946). A notable politician, diplomat and
educationist in colonial India, Sastri was a founding member of the
National Liberal Federation and was one of the leading liberals —
often dismissed as ‘a body of sycophants and self-seekers’ —
of the post-1918 period of Indian pre-independence history. Through
Sastri, the book shines a light on the contributions of liberals in
Indian political history and challenges the convenient binaries in
Indian historiography. Examining the role that liberals like Sastri
played in bridging the gap between the officials and the
nationalists, it traces the practice of liberal politics in the
post-1918 period of Indian nationalist struggle and the broader
contours of Indian liberalism. Accessible, comprehensive and
scholarly, this book will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of Indian history, especially the nationalist movement,
political thought, and South Asian studies.
