EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the dignified presence of Dadabhai Naoroji, known as "The Grand Old Man of India". Taken in 1914 by Bourne & Shepherd, this image showcases the remarkable life and achievements of a true Indian icon. Dadabhai Naoroji's legacy is one that encompasses numerous roles - Parsi intellectual, educator, merchant, and Indian political and social leader. He made history as the first Indian Member of the British Parliament at Westminster, representing the London constituency of Finsbury Central from 1892 to 1895. A founding member of the Indian National Congress, Naoroji played a pivotal role in advocating for India's independence from British rule. His groundbreaking economic study titled "Poverty and UnBritish Rule in India" exposed how Great Britain was systematically draining India's wealth and resources. Naoroji's relentless pursuit for justice led him to call for a Royal Commission to investigate these charges against colonial exploitation. Remarkably, he was included as a member on this commission established by the British government. His influence extended beyond his time through his mentorship of Mahatma Gandhi who affectionately referred to him as his real "DADA" or grandfather figure. This profound connection speaks volumes about Naoroji's impact on shaping future leaders. This print serves not only as a visual tribute but also an invitation to delve into the rich history surrounding one man’s tireless efforts towards freedom and equality for all Indians.
