The Disinherited. The Politics of Christian Conversion in Colonial India, Hardback/Mou Banerjee

Mou Banerjee shows that Hindu and Muslim detractors energetically marginalized converts, in the process developing ideals that cemented the connection between political and communal identity on the subcontinent.
