New Book by Prof. Mou Banerjee

The Center for South Asia is delighted to announce the publication of ‘The Disinherited: The Politics of Christian Conversion in Colonial India,’ authored by Prof. Mou Banerjee, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her work delves into the period following the British Crown’s 1813 policy permitting Protestant missionary evangelism in India. Prof. Banerjee offers a compelling narrative that highlights how Indian Christian converts were marginalized and erased from nationalist narratives, shaping the communal and political ideologies that persist in modern India. The book is available starting January 14, 2025. You can visit hup.harvard.edu for more details. Join us in congratulating Prof. Banerjee on this remarkable achievement!
