Conversion and Social Equality in India
The London Missionary Society in South Travancore in the 19th Century
Description:... "Analyses the confrontation between Evangelical missionaries from Victorian England and low caste communities in the Hindu social order, in the social setting of Travancore, an Indian native state tucked away in the South-west corner of the Indian peninsula. However, the problems like social stratifcation and cultural change dealt with by the author in the book concern a much wider field than Travancore or India along."--Dust jacket flap
