Summary

This chapter argues that the ruptures and uncertainties at the close of the 1920s fragmented the League as an institution and aligned the Berlin headquarters more closely to Moscow, but it also created opportunities for more flexible connections and solidarities outside the institutional framework of the LAI and the Comintern. The chapter argues that Nehru’s commitment to internationalism in the 1930s was most clear in his maintenance of connections with the LAI and many of his former colleagues from the institution. Nehru frequently revisited the League against Imperialism in London where the international center relocated after a Nazi raid of the Berlin office sent the secretaries into exile in 1933. In London, Nehru attended League meetings in 1935 and 1936 where he met with former LAI comrades and encountered new ones, most notably V.K. Krishna Menon and George Padmore. Rather than a retreat, Nehru’s anti-imperialist internationalism expanded dramatically in the 1930s.
