My new piece on forgotten history of India liberalism and economic thoughts. The piece is about great liberal scholar Mariadas Ruthnasamy, who was nominated twice to Indian upper house of the parliament in the high days socialism in India in the 60s and 70s.
A slice from the piece:
"Throughout his life, Mariadas Ruthnaswamy championed the pivotal role of the principles of liberty, equality, and economic freedom. He was an untiring reader and authored several books wherein the assimilation of his thinking and mastery over the issues of India covering several centuries is truly mesmerizing. He was profoundly active with reading and writing even at the age of 92, days before his death in June 1977. Alas, many of his great works were consciously marginalised by propagandists even after the fact that he was a scholar from the minority community. His own community itself had treated his works as untouchable because he was a distinguished scholar and thinker of classical liberal principles."
