The third part of The New Cambridge History of India is devoted to
the Indian Empire and the Beginnings of Modern Society. In the
first volume, Kenneth Jones looks at the numerous
nineteenth-century movements for social and religious change -
Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Zoroastrian - that used various
forms of religious authority to legitimize their reform programmes.
Such movements were both indigenous and colonial in their origins
and Professor Jones shows how each adapted to the challenge of
competing nationalisms as political circumstances changed. The
volumes in this part of the History consider the overall impact of
British rule upon the whole sphere of religion, social behaviour
and culture. Its coverage is both historical and religious and
Socio-religious Reform Movements in British India will appeal to
students and scholars in a wide variety of social scientific
disciplines.
