DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe aim of the present study is to examine the missionary activities in Bengal during the period 1795-1835 and to assess the role of the missionaries in the social, educational and religious reforms that took place at that time. The first chapter attempts an analysis of the Eighteenth Century Socio-religious background of England and Bengal, against which it seeks to explain the growth of the missionary activities. It was the Methodist Revival Movement in England, the chapter shows, which gave rise to the outburst of missionary enthusiasm during the period. As far as Bengal is concerned the chapter brings into focus the contemporary socio-religious conditions in which the missionaries found themselves and analyses the policy of the East India Company towards the Indian religions, which, in its turn, determined its attitude towards the missionaries. Chapter two describes the various missionary organisations at work in Bengal during this period and their relationship towards each other, also the relationship between the missionaries and Europeans - government officials, merchants and professionals. Chapter three and four describe the missionaries at work - the methods they used to achieve their objects, namely Preaching, Translation and Education; and the reactions of the people. Chapter five, which is an elaborate discussion of the results of the missionary activities, offers an analysis hitherto unattempted, of the total number of converts, their social background, their behaviour after conversion, and people's reaction to the missionaries and their converts. Chapter six deals with the impact of the missionary activities on contemporary Society. The impact on the socio-religious reforms, growth of education and Bengali literature, is discussed fully. It is affirmed that the missionaries played a significant part in preparing the background for the Renaissance in Bengal. It is pointed out in conclusion, that the lasting contributions of the missionaries towards the social progress in Bengal came either directly or indirectly, from their non-evangelical and evangelical activities respectively.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK‘British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861’ looks at the arrival of the early British women missionaries in Bengal, especially when travelling to India or working in missions was neither a spontaneous nor an acceptable career decision for white women. The book aims to throw light on a key moment in colonial contact, a new interface between two races, religions and ways of life. From a hesitant beginning as ‘helpmeets’ to a more confident phase of mission activities in the form of setting up formal educational institutions, writing books and so on comprise a long legacy of white women’s participation in overseas colonial encounters. Historicizing imperial feminism will enable those who choose to use the past to locate and interrogate its ramifications on more ‘modern’ notions of feminism. The advent of the Baptist missionary William Carey in Bengal in 1793, followed by others, significantly altered how mission activity was perceived in India. From Hannah Marshman, who helped her more famous missionary husband Joshua Marshman to open schools for girls, to Mary Ann Cooke, the first single British woman missionary to come and work in India, to Hannah Mullens’s contributions to zenana education, were all part of a long journey which helped professionalize women’s missionary work in the colonies. With the death of Hannah Mullens in 1861, the ‘early’ phase of missionary work came to an end and then began a more proactive phase of evangelization and missionary activity in India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis highly interesting book studies the cultural context of modernisation of middle-class Muslim women in late 19th- and 20th-century Bengal. Its frames of reference are the Bengal 'Awakening', the Reform Movements -- Brahmo/Hindi and Muslim -- and the Women's Question as articulated in material and ideological terms throughout the period. Tracing the emergence of the modern Muslim gentlewomen, the bhadramahilā, starting in 1876 when Nawab Faizunnesa Chaudhurani published her first book and ending with the foundation in 1939 of The Lady Brabourne College, the book gives an excellent analysis of the rise of a Muslim woman's public sphere and broadens our knowledge of Bengali social history in the colonial period.
