This book is a critical biography on Shyamji Krishnavarma (1857-1930) - an Indian scholar and national revolutionary. His association with traditionalist intellectuals, Orientalists, Irish nationalists, anarchists, and Victorian liberalism led to the creation of a violent wing of anti-imperial nationalism. It focuses on the themes of colonial knowledge, political violence and cosmopolitanism.
