Rt. Hon. V.S. Srinivasa Sastri – the ‘Silver-Tongued Orator’ of the Empire and perhaps the last of the Indian Liberals of his era – succeeded G.K. Gokhale as President of the Servants of India Society and was a founding member of the Indian Liberal Federation (a.k.a Liberal Party) in 1919. The talk explores how svar?j, Home-Rule, self-rule, India’s role within or without the Empire, reform and swadeshi, constitutional imperatives, democracy, and governance meant different things to each of the three leading spokes voice for India’s freedom and her liberal future; and yet they were bound up reverentially in a trialogue, agreeing to disagree and mutually criticize
