Uncover the fascinating evolution of Vedantic Hinduism in Colonial Bengal. This insightful study explores how the Hindu reformation of the 19th century, influenced by Western Protestantism, reshaped Indian religious identity. Discover the emergence of Vedantic Hindu modernity, its focus on sacred texts like the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita, and its dual quest for individual flourishing and emancipation from Western dominance. Tracing ideological paths from Rammohun Roy to Rabindranath Tagore, this book offers a unique perspective on the construction of modern Hindu identities. Essential reading for scholars of Indian religious history, South Asian studies, and those interested in interreligious dialogue.
