Indian jurist and statesman who, despite his independent views and outspokenness, attained high government positions rarely open to Indians in his time. He simultaneously opposed the extreme Indian nationalist movement led by Mohandas K. Gandhi and its forcible suppression by the British Indian government. In his book Gandhi and Anarchy (1922), Sankaran Nair attacked Gandhi’s nationalist noncooperation movement and British actions under martial law. A British court held that this work libelled Sir Michael Francis O’Dwyer, lieutenant governor of India during the Punjab rebellion of 1919.
