This book tells the story of how Catholic and Protestant Indians
have attempted to locate themselves within the evolving Indian
nation. Ironically, British rule in India did not privilege
Christians, but pushed them to the margins of a predominantly Hindu
society. Drawing upon wide-ranging sources, the book first explains
how the Indian judiciary's 'official knowledge' isolated Christians
from Indian notions of family, caste and nation. It then describes
how different varieties and classes of Christians adopted, resisted
and reshaped both imperial and nationalist perceptions of their
identity. Within a climate of rising communal tension in India,
this study finds immediate relevance.
