Brahmoism And The Religious Future Of India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162896939)

Brahmoism and the Religious Future of India is a book written by Count Goblet D'Alviella that explores the religious movement known as Brahmoism, which emerged in 19th century India as a response to the social and political changes brought about by British colonialism. The book provides a detailed history of the Brahmo Samaj, the organization that spearheaded the movement, and examines its key beliefs and practices, such as monotheism, social reform, and the rejection of caste. D'Alviella argues that Brahmoism represents a significant departure from traditional Hinduism and has the potential to shape the future of religion in India. He also discusses the challenges facing the movement, including tensions between its liberal and conservative factions and the difficulty of reconciling its Western influences with its Indian roots. Overall, Brahmoism and the Religious Future of India provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of a little-known religious movement that played a significant role in shaping modern India. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and diversity of religious traditions in India.THIS 58 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Contemporary Evolution of Religious Thought in England, America and India, by Count Goblet D'Alviella.
