DESCRIPTION
The large scale advent of Christian Missions in India at the beginning of the nineteenth century had given a powerful push to the wheel of social change in the country. Consequently, the socio-political system built during the Mughal period was found too weak to withstand the sweep of the utilitarian western thoughts and practices. In these circumstances, supported by their state, trade and philanthropy, the Christian Missionary societies of Europe flooded this country with a large number of evangelical workers 'to win India for Christ'.
