Reginald Arthur Reynolds (1905 – 16 December 1958)[1] was a British left wing writer, poet, a Quaker and an anti-colonial activist who collaborated with M.K. Gandhi and Horace Alexander.
He was from a Quaker background, the son of Bryant Reynolds of Clark, Morland & Co.[2] He was General Secretary of the No More War Movement from 1933 to 1937.
He was perhaps best known as a critic of British imperialism in India, and for his 1937 work The White Sahibs in India. For many years he was also New Statesman's weekly satirical poet.
