Two major aspects of Evangelical action are analysed here: firstly, the controversy about the Company territories’ accessibility to missionaries and, as a corollary, the behaviour expected from the Company as paramount power towards native religions and their practices, which were sometimes disturbing for the Christian proprietors; secondly, after 1813, the foundation of the first Indian bishopric of the Church of England, with strongly Evangelical bishops, leading to decisive choices in terms of education and public life, but rather inconsequential for the subcontinent’s conversion to Christianity. |
