In the Shadow of the Mahatma: Bishop V. S. Azariah and the Travails of Christianity in British India

This book presents the only critical study of the public life and legacy of V. S. Azariah (1874-1945), the first Indian bishop of an Anglican diocese and the most successful leader of rural conversion to Christianity in modern India. Harper carefully explores Bishop Azariah's work, including his attempts to redress racism and improve social conditions in India, and documents--for the first time anywhere--the previously unknown controversy between Bishop Azariah and the great Mahatma Gandhi.
