Drawing on a large body of previously untapped literature,
including documents from the Church Missionary Society and Bengali
newspapers, Brian Pennington offers a fascinating portrait of the
process by which "Hinduism" came into being. He argues against the
common idea that the modern construction of religion in colonial
India was simply a fabrication of Western Orientalists and
missionaries. Rather, he says, it involved the active agency and
engagement of Indian authors as well, who interacted, argued, and
responded to British authors over key religious issues such as
image-worship, sati, tolerance, and conversion.
