British Rule And British Christianity In India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163105153)

British Rule and British Christianity in India is a historical analysis of the relationship between British colonialism and Christianity in India. Written by Joseph Kingsmill, the book explores the ways in which British rule in India was intertwined with the spread of Christianity, and how the two forces worked together to shape Indian society and culture.The book begins with a discussion of the early British presence in India, focusing on the East India Company and its role in establishing British political and economic control over the subcontinent. Kingsmill then turns to the spread of Christianity in India, tracing its roots back to the arrival of Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century and its subsequent growth under British rule.Throughout the book, Kingsmill examines the ways in which British colonialism and Christianity intersected, both in terms of their impact on Indian society and in terms of the ways in which they were perceived by Indian people. He also explores the tensions and conflicts that arose between British and Indian Christians, as well as the ways in which Indian Christians sought to assert their own identity and autonomy within the larger colonial framework.Overall, British Rule and British Christianity in India provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the complex relationship between colonialism, Christianity, and Indian society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British colonialism or the role of Christianity in shaping global politics and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
