Introduction
Pseudo-Secularism, Christian Missions and Hindu Resistance
Sitaram Goel
The book serves as the introduction to Vindicated By Time: The Niyogi Committee Report On Christian Missionary Activities (1956). The book highlights how post-independence India’s constitution facilitated the growth of Christian missions, while nationalist resistance weakened as key leaders shifted their stance. It critiques the rise of Nehruvian secularism, which, under the guise of sarva-dharma-sambhava, sidelined dissenting Hindu voices as communal. The author exposes how missionary-supported education influenced Indian elites, shaping the socio-political landscape.
