Scotsman Charles Grant (1746 1823) travelled to India in 1767.
During his 22-year stay, he rose through the ranks of the East
India Company, serving as a member of the company's board of trade.
Following his return to Britain, he served three times as the
company's chairman and was also elected to Parliament. His
conversion to a fervent form of Christianity had occurred in 1776,
making him a well-known advocate of evangelisation in the newly
acquired British territories. In this work, he launches a strong
attack on Hindu belief, labelling it as depraved, degenerate and
despotic. 'The true cure of darkness is the introduction of light,
' he argues. Written in 1792 but first published in 1797, this work
was also presented to Parliament in 1813 in a bid to influence the
renewal and amendment of the East India Company's charter
