Summary:

Before Gandhi and Nehru, there was Dadabhai Naoroji. In the 1800s he called out British policies that immiserated and starved Indians and became the first-ever Indian member of Parliament. Disillusioned by efforts to work within the system, he later called for self-rule. Dinyar Patel’s is the first comprehensive study of this nationalist pioneer.
