Who among the following national leaders was called 'Grand Old Man of India' in British India?
Dadabhai Naoroji
The correct answer is Dadabhai Naoroji.
His "Drain Theory" argued that a significant portion of India's wealth and resources was being transferred to Britain without adequate return, leading to the impoverishment of India. He published this theory in his book, "Poverty and Un-British Rule in India" (1901). This theory became a cornerstone of the economic critique of British rule put forth by early Indian nationalists. Dadabhai Naoroji also served as the President of the Indian National Congress three times (1886, 1893, 1906), demonstrating his central role in the early stages of the Indian national movement.
