| Shrnutí: | Many historians have argued that it was largely the challenge posed by christian missionaries in the nineteenth
century that provoked the contemporary social reform movement, the leadership of which gradually moved into the
hands of nationalist intellectuals and social workers from all parts of India. Following that line of reasoning, the
missionaries ' main contribution may have been to start a movement to purge Hindu society of its most glaring social
evils as well as to stimulate a revival and resurgence of Hindu belief and practices, about the last thing the
missionaries could have wanted.
It is these unintended but nevertheless far-reaching effects of missionary activity that form the main theme of this
study of the London Missionary Society (LMS) in nineteenth century Travancore. |
