| Zusammenfassung: | The third part of The New Cambridge History of India is devoted to the Indian Empire and the Beginnings of Modern Society. In the first volume, Kenneth Jones looks at the numerous nineteenth-century movements for social and religious change - Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Zoroastrian - that used various forms of religious authority to legitimize their reform programmes. Such movements were both indigenous and colonial in their origins and Professor Jones shows how each adapted to the challenge of competing nationalisms as political circumstances changed. The volumes in this part of the History consider the overall impact of British rule upon the whole sphere of religion, social behaviour and culture. Its coverage is both historical and religious and Socio-religious Reform Movements in British India will appeal to students and scholars in a wide variety of social scientific disciplines Concepts and context -- Bengal and north-eastern India -- The Gangetic core: Uttar Pradesh and Bihar -- Punjab and the North-West -- The central belt and Maharashtra -- The Dravidian South -- The Twentieth Century: socio-religious movements in a politicized world -- Conclusion: Religion in history -- Glossary of Indian terms |
