Abstract
This chapter explores M. P. T. Acharya’s ventures into anarchism, trying to bring the political philosophy into India’s independence struggle from afar, and to place India’s freedom on the agenda of global anarchism. In the mid-1920s, he was involved in a deportation case against Indians in Berlin, which was eventually abandoned, and in challenging the racism of German cultural politics in the Hagenbeck affair. In addition to translating for and frequently contributing to anarchist papers, his articulation of anarchism in Indian papers such as Forward and the People was unique and, eventually, evolved into a heated debate with Jawaharlal Nehru over the brutality of Bolshevik prisons. Acharya’s different approach to the question of freedom, the chapter illustrates, brought together anticolonialism, anarchism, and utopianism in ways that open new ways of understanding the radical landscape of 1920s Berlin as a hub for the entangled world of anti-imperialism and anarchism.
