Extended liberal tradition
The broader cast in the liberal story: thinkers, statesmen, scholars, and figures of practice whose work belongs here without being at the very centre. Includes constitutional liberals, contemporary commentators, reform-era thinkers, and practitioners whom the liberal tradition honors — scientists, jurists, industrialists whose work has shaped the Indian liberal imagination.
