Dadabhai Naoroji (1825–1917), popularly known as the ‘Grand Old Man of India’, was thrice elected president of the Indian National Congress. In 1892, he became the first Indian to be elected to the British House of Commons. He was one of the primary advocates of Swaraj, or self-rule, for India. Naoroji’s most lasting contribution to Indian nationalism was his exposition of the exploitative nature of British colonialism through his ‘drain theory’.
