The arrival of Christian missionaries during this period has been intertwined with colonial rule and has played a crucial role in shaping South Asian society and culture. While their efforts to convert people have been significant, there has been limited attention paid to studying the role and impact of missionary enterprises compared to colonialism. Isolated individual efforts have focused on specific regions such as Bengal, Madras, and Punjab, while the unique region of North East India remains largely unexplored. In North East India, for instance, by the time the British left, a majority of the tribals had abandoned their traditional faith and embraced Christianity, leading to a socio-cultural revolution. This transformation highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of missionary activities in South Asia and underscores the need for further research and understanding of their role in shaping the region's history and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 160 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789391928926\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44729958465786,"sku":"9789391928926","price":107.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699007318979_book.jpg?v=1699106358","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/encounter-and-interventions-christian-missionaries-in-colonial-northeast-india-9789391928926","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
