  • Homi Mody’s Liberalism: From Pro-Business to Pro-Market
    • "Temperamentally liberal and a constitutionalist, Homi Mody straddled the public life in both colonial and Independent India as a member of two outsized minority groupings, i.e. big business and Parsis" · establishes his dual minority identity and liberal temperament as the defining features of his public persona
    • "It is in his advocacy of Indian industrial interests that Mody takes an illiberal turn" · the essay's frank acknowledgement of his protectionist contradiction within his liberal profile
