Which constituency did Dadabhai Naoroji represent in the British House of Commons ?
Finsbury Central
Dadabhai Naoroji, the Grand Old Man of India, was the first Indian to be elected to the British House of Commons.
He contested Holborn in 1886 as a Liberal candidate but lost; in the 1892 general election he won Finsbury Central by a narrow margin of just a few votes and served as its member from 1892 to 1895.
In Parliament he raised Indian issues, especially the drain of wealth from India, which he later explained in Poverty and Un-British Rule in India.
Hence, Finsbury Central.
