Modern Religious Movements in India 1924

1924. The author has done his best in presenting an accurate and truthful portrait of the movements in India. To deal with this entire subject adequately, however, two volumes would have been necessary. Therefore, matters have been compressed everywhere and because the religious movements are so varied and intricate, there are many omissions and mistakes. Contents: historical outline of the period; reform checked by defense of the old faiths 1870-1913; full defense of the old religions 1870-1913; religious nationalism; social reform and service; significance of the movements. Illustrated.
