Description
This book explores Roman Catholic female missions in colonial and postcolonial India. It begins with their placement in a strongly Protestant British Empire, exploring the evolution of their outreach to Indians. It examines how these missions developed their independent tropes of education and social outreach that built their bona fides with nationalist India as the tide went out on empire.
