VS Srinivasa Sastri – Forgotten Liberal Intellectual – Part 1

I have new article about VS Srinivasa Sastri (1869-1946) in the Spontaneous Order Online Publication of Centre for Civil Society- a top Free Market Economics Think Tank in New Delhi. This is first of two part serious on Sastri's life and works.

Almost all of us know about MK Gandhi's prominent role in India's Freedom Struggles. However, very few people know about the freedom struggles pursued by leaders like M.G.Ranade, GK Gokhale and VS Srinivasa Sastri.

Sastri opposed mostly Gandhi's politics for good reasons!

In his home land, Tamil Nadu, VS Srinivasa Sastri was ignored in the post independent period because he was Brahmin despite the fact that he had given financial assistance to several poor students for their education. He even adopted poor students!
