Summary
Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha was a prominent constitutional leader in India before the entry of Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. This book brings, for the first time, an edited version of his autobiography before a global readership. It is a unique testimony of an accomplished states-man and British colonial collaborator and admirer, a quintessential by-product of the educational programme of Lord Macaulay from the Hindi-speaking belt of North India. The volume is a valuable contribution to exploring India’s legal, cultural, and constitutional history both during colonial and post-colonial times.
With contributions by Domenico Francavilla | Pratyush Kumar | Madan Mishra | Mahendra Prasad Singh
