Examining the interplay between colonizer and colonized, this book explores how Britain's colonization of India influenced both Indian and British cultures, particularly through the lens of religion. It highlights the development of national identities in both nations shaped by their shared colonial history, emphasizing the roles of religion and secularity in conceptualizing modernity. Additionally, the author delves into the evolving ideas of gender, race, language, spirituality, and science during the latter half of the nineteenth century.
