Life and Times of Sir Pherozeshah Mehta by Rt. Hon. V. S. Srinivasa Sastri is a distinguished biography of Pherozeshah Mehta, one of the foremost leaders of the early Indian nationalist movement. Widely known as the "Lion of Bombay," Sir Pherozeshah Mehta played a pivotal role in shaping public life, municipal governance, legal reform, and constitutional politics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Written by the eminent statesman and scholar V. S. Srinivasa Sastri, the book provides a detailed account of Mehta’s life, public service, and enduring influence on India's political development. It examines his legal career, leadership within the Indian National Congress, advocacy of constitutional methods, and efforts to expand civic participation and local self-government. The biography also highlights his role in public administration and his contribution to the emergence of modern political thought in colonial India.

Rich in historical insight and written with admiration and scholarly depth, the book offers readers a valuable perspective on the formative years of India's nationalist movement and the personalities who helped shape its direction. Published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, this paperback edition is an important resource for students of Indian history, political science, constitutional development, and biography.
