India's First Diplomat by Vineet Thakur
Though now largely a forgotten figure, V.S. Srinivasa Sastri was a celebrated Indian politician and diplomat in the early 20th Century. This book rehabilitates Sastri and offers a diplomatic biography of his years as India's roving ambassador in the 1920s.
“By bringing out critiques of Sastri from within his contemporaries – Congress statesmen and India’s leading political thinkers – the book succeeds in decolonising pre-independence Indian diplomacy, thus far, a field too deeply entrenched in India’s colonial past” H-Soz-Kult "[A] most enjoyable treasure box of a book… [this] well-researched and elegantly written monograph covers everything in terms of Sastri's political life" - Amit Das Gupta, Sehepunkte
