As a friend of Nehru, Gandhi, and other Congress Party leaders, Thompson had contacts that many English officials did not have and did not know how to get. Thus, he was an excellent channel for interpreting India to England and England to India.IndologistsGreat BritainBiographyAuthors, English20th centuryBiographyIndologistsAuthors, English941.08/092BLago Mary221430MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974559403321India's prisoner4473275UNINA
