This work, first published in 1980, breaks new ground as concerns
caste in India. It first examines the nature of caste and its
relation to Hinduism and questions in what sense it is possible to
speak of Christianity as an egalitarian faith. It then considers
some Hindu egalitarian movements and traces the development of
ideas on caste among Christian missionaries, examining the
relationship between these views and the Revolt of 1857. Close
attention is given to changing attitudes on caste, both by
missionaries and by Indian Christians, while the influence of
nationalism on Christian attitudes to caste and other social
questions is further examined. Finally, there is a review of the
contemporary state of the question and of the specifically
Christian contribution to modern views on caste.
