The Subhedar’s Son
This son of a former local ruler, from the elite Brahman community that had presided over the fortunes of the Maratha Empire before its defeat by the British Raj, became a Christian convert and then served as a pastor of local churches in Western India for nearly forty years. His autobiography was later turned into a prize-winning novel. This rare pioneering vernacular account, reflecting the highly complex, multilayered cultural legacy of an eme…
Europe’s India
A comprehensive grasp of Mughal and European history, in relation to India and the early modern world, combined with a command of a dozen or more languages, both Asian and European, enables Sanjay Subrahmanyam to delve into a wide array of archival sources.Moreover, his command of several scholarly disciplines-ranging from economics, history, and politics to literary theory, religions, and visual cultures-together with his intellectual imaginatio…

Christians and Missionaries in India
The assumption that Christianity in India is nothing more than a European, western, or colonial imposition is open to challenge. Those who now think and write about India are often not aware that Christianity is a non-western religion, that in India this has always been so, and that there are now more Christians in Africa and Asia than in the West. Recognizing that more understanding of the separate histories and cultures of the many Christian co…
HEPHZIBAH Israel. Religious Transactions in Colonial South India
Language translation lies at the heart of Christianity and its foundational narrative. This has been so since the beginning. On the Day of Pentecost, Babel was reversed. Crowds from “every nation under heaven” were amazed when each person heard what was being spoken “in his own language” (Acts 2:6). Christianity has never possessed a single “sacred” language. Since language itself was seen as a divine creation, all languages and their cultures we…

Religious Transformation in South Asia
Focused on ‘mass movements’ of low-caste peoples to Christianity in Punjab during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with special reference to a comparative analysis of ‘religious transformations’ as perceived within two very different missionary agencies—the larger British Evangelical (Anglican) Church Missionary Society (CMS) and the smaller Belgian Catholic Capuchin—this is a broad and complex study. It attempts a full and open…
Evangelical Christians as Missionary Dubashis
Missionaries, along with their indigenous collaborators, functioned as dubashis — as ‘go-betweens’ or conduits for information flowing between two civilizations. This chapter focuses on the nature and the results of the efforts of Christian dubashis. It argues that the functions and roles of dubashi Christians, whether they were Europeans or Native Indians, were essentially, inherently, and intrinsically infrastructural. This means that despite r…
Christianity in India
This book explores and enhances historical understandings of Christian communities, cultures, and institutions within the Indian world from their beginnings down to the present. As one out of several manifestations of a newly emerging World Christianity, in which Christians of a Post-Christian West are a minority, it focuses upon those trans-cultural interactions within Hindu and Muslim environments which have made Christians in this part of the …

The myth of English as a ‘colonialist’ imposition upon India
Every schoolboy and schoolgirl in India, figuratively speaking, is taught the Myth of Macaulay's Minute. According to this myth, attitudes of lofty condescension towards India's peoples and their inferior cultures, combined with practical needs for a cheap labour force to supply the manpower requirements of an enormous bureaucratic machine, prompted alien rulers to impose an English language educational system upon the subcontinent and, thereby, …

Merchants, Companies and Commerce on the Coromandel Coast, 1650-1740
In this in-depth history of India's eastern coastline during the late-medieval and early-modern periods, the author unearths fresh empirical data from the records of the Dutch and English East India Companies to reconstruct the life and livelihood of the region. He discusses its geographical and economic boundaries, its topography and climate, its ports and trading outlets, and examining the unity of the area from a variety of perspectives

A Research Note on the Discovery of Writings by Savariraya Pillai, A Tamil Diarist of Mid-Nineteenth-Century Tinnevelly
Savariraya Pillai (1801–1874), a teacher whose entire life was spent in villages and towns of Tinnevelly District, never learned English. Moreover, in his writing, he never departed from the local Tamil. For this reason, the record of his observations upon social life and public affairs is a priceless source for historical investigation. His diaries and journals which span a period of forty years, can be compared with those of Ananda Ranga Pillai…

Pandita Ramabai's America
A singular outsider's perceptive look at American society This fascinating volume illuminates nineteenth-century America as seen from the perspective of one of the most notable women ever to come from India. Often compared to Alexis de Tocqueville, Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922) was renowned for her amazing learning, and she went on to became a world-famous speaker and social reformer. When Ramabai's travels brought her to the United States, she cou…

Elite Groups in a South Indian District
In old Guntur District, as in other districts of South India, several different elite groups, arranged within a highly complex and segmented social order, were interlocked with corresponding elements of the political hierarchy. Each group was associated in one way or another with its own stratum in district government and, at times, with seeral different strata, from die Collector's Office at the top to the village at the bottom. Operating at its…
British Society in Guntur During the Early Nineteenth Century
That a similarity underlay local diversities of British society in India during the early 19th century is shown by Bernard S. Cohn's description of the British in Benares. A century ago, George F. Atkinson, in his Curry and Rice, observed:Let me remind you that, while there are numerous races, each with a different creed, caste, and language, so there are customs and manners peculiar to each: and this variety is not confined to the natives; for t…
