As an editorial staff member of The Times of London, Chirol's influence extended to the far reaches of the British Empire. His seminal work, 'India, Old and New,' published in 1921, is a testament to his deep engagement with the Indian subcontinent and its history. In this book, Chirol explores the intricate social fabric and the myriad transformations that India underwent under British rule. He offers an analysis that intertwines India's storied past with the challenges and opportunities presented to her in the modernized world of his time. His literary style is marked by a balance between sympathetic narrative and critical assessment, reflective of his years of experience as a foreign correspondent and diplomatic expert. While his views are inevitably colored by the imperial context in which he wrote, Valentine Sir Chirol's work provides valuable insights into the historical dynamics of British-Indian relations and continues to be referenced in scholarly discussions on colonial history and journalism.
