Naoroji was a great advocate of continuation of British connection with the Indian people. The basic thought of his ideology was his abiding faith that British rule was a great boon to India and a dispensation of the Providence. He advocated the introduction of Western education in India. He had faith in British fair play and justice and rule of law and recognized their great advantages which England had confirmed upon the people of India by introducing Western education, law and equality, freedom and justice. But Naoroji recognized the negative effects of harmful British policy upon the loyalty of Indians and used this as a tool to urge Britain to change its governance. The present paper reviews on Dadabhai Naoroji’s warnings to the British.
