First Indian to win a popular election to the UK Parliament receives Blue Plaque

English Heritage has today (10 August 2022) unveiled a blue plaque dedicated to Dadabhai Naoroji, an Indian Nationalist and the first Indian to win a popular election to Parliament in the UK. Dubbed the ‘grand old man of India’ and described in his Times obituary as ‘the father of Indian Nationalism’, Naoroji made seven trips to England, and spent over three decades of his long life in London. His plaque marks the red-bricked semi-detached house in Penge, south London, that was his home around the turn of the twentieth century.
