India’s First Diplomat
V.S. Srinivasa Sastri and the Making of Liberal Internationalism
«“By bringing out critiques of Sastri from within his contemporaries – Congress statesmen and India’s leading political thinkers – the book succeeds in decolonising pre-independence Indian diplomacy, thus far, a field too deeply entrenched in India’s colonial past.” H-Soz-Kult "[A] most enjoyable treasure box of a book… [this] well-researched and elegantly written monograph covers everything in terms of Sastri's political life" - Amit Das Gupta, Sehepunkte»
Though now largely a forgotten figure, V.S. Srinivasa Sastri was a celebrated Indian politician and diplomat in the early 20th Century.

"Dr Vineet Thakur’s latest book is an important and exciting contribution to our understanding of race and the global colour line in the British imperial world of the 1920s." LSE Review of Books
«“Vineet Thakur’s biographical study of Sastri, India’s First Diplomat, is therefore a refreshing correction to such historiography. While acknowledging the shrinking domestic political space in which liberals operated in the interwar period, Thakur highlights the very real contributions they made in the diplomatic sphere.” The India Forum»
