The complete history of activist Dadabhai Naoroji, who created the Indian National Congress, became the first British politician of Indian ancestry, and served as an inspiration for Gandhi and Nehru. Dadabhai Naoroji was referred to as the "father of the nation" by Mahatma Gandhi; Gandhi himself now holds that distinction. Dinyar Patel looks at the fascinating life of this key player in the development of modern Indian politics. He was a scathing opponent of British colonialism who was the first Indian Member of Parliament and declared Self-Rule or Swaraj as India's goal. The political career of Naoroji went through three separate stages. He started out as the activist who developed the "drain of wealth" argument, which blamed the British Raj for the horrific famines and crushing poverty in India.
