Gandhi and Anarchy by Sir C Sankaran Nair

Sankaran Nair was knighted in 1912. In 1915 he joined the Viceroy's Council as member for education. In that office he frequently urged Indian constitutional reforms, and he supported the Montagu-Chelmsford plan (1918), according to which India would gradually achieve self-government within the British Empire. He resigned from the council in 1919 in protest against the protracted use of martial law to quell unrest in the Punjab. n his book Gandhi and Anarchy (1922), Sankaran Nair attacked Gandhi's nationalist noncooperation movement and British actions under martial law. A British court held that this work libelled Sir Michael Francis O'Dwyer, lieutenant governor of India during the Punjab rebellion of 1919.
