Description
Offering a new approach to the study of religion and empire, this innovative book challenges a widespread myth of modernity that Western rule has had a secularizing effect on the non-West. Sengupta reveals instead the paradox that the pursuit and adaption of modern vernacular education, mainly imported to the colonies by Protestant missionaries, opened up new ways for Indians to reformulate ideas of community along religious lines. Debates over the mundane aspects of schooling, rather than debates between religious leaders, transformed the everyday definitions of what it meant to be a Christian, Hindu, or Muslim. - from Amzon
