George Gilbert Swell

George Gilbert Swell (5 August 1923 – 25 January 1999) was an Indian college professor, politician and diplomat.

He, with his wife's uncle, Brington B Lyngdoh, and Stanley Nichols Roy, as well as other community leaders, conducted a campaign for the separate identity of their proposed state which would combine the peoples of the Khasi and Janintia Hills and other tribes from the Garo Hills and adjacent areas.

Subsequently, he was appointed as ambassador-designate to Canada, then Spain, but instead chose to return to national political life in India.

In 1985, as a member of parliament, he served as the head of the Indian delegation to the United National General Assembly, New York.

In 1992 he contested the Indian presidential election as a joint opposition candidate against Shankar Dayal Sharma but lost.
