Uncover the intricate world of Indian gurus and their Western disciples from 1890-1940. This compelling study examines the politics of Indophilia, revealing how romanticised Western engagements with Indian spirituality, figures like Gandhi, Tagore, and Vivekananda, served Indian nationalist goals. Delve into transnational projects like the abolition of indentured labour and the rise of global Hinduism, understanding their anti-colonial impact and inherent hierarchies of race and caste. Offering a unique perspective on global mobility, this book is a vital read for anyone interested in India’s cultural history and international influence.
