Dhun Jehangir Ruttonjee

Dhun Jehangir Ruttonjee (10 July 1903 – 28 July 1974) was a leader of the Indian community in Hong Kong.

In 1942, during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, Ruttonjee family properties Dina House and Ruttonjee Building on Duddell Street were beleaguered by Japanese guards for several weeks. In 1944, Ruttonjee and his father were arrested, tortured and sentenced to five years' imprisonment, of which they served nine months before the liberation of the city. They were accused of aiding those at the Stanley Internment Camp and general anti-Japanese activity.

He was appointed Justice of the Peace after the war, in 1947. He was made an Unofficial member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 1953.

In the Council, he sat on the Kaitak Progress Committee alongside Ngan Shing-kwan and Charles Terry. Ruttonjee was made Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1957, and promoted to Commander (CBE) in 1964, for public services. During the 1967 leftist riot, Ruttonjee was one of the earliest supporters of government crackdown among local elites. He served on the Legislative Council until 1968. He was known to often wear an orchid, a fact mentioned when he received the degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa from the University of Hong Kong the next year. Ruttonjee died on 28 July 1974.
