Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed look into the role Christianity plays in the East, particularly in India, and the history of its influence. The author, having conducted a multi-year investigation on Indian religious practices, including visiting pilgrimage sites and interviewing religious leaders, was shocked by the extent of cruelty and human suffering conducted in the name of religion. The author shares his personal experiences witnessing the female sacrifices, the self-inflicted tortures, and the caste oppression he encountered and offers insights into the moral and ethical dilemmas presented by religious extremism. The depth of the author's research into the subject matter and the detailed, vivid descriptions of his travels and experiences paint a vivid picture of the religious landscape of India in the early 19th century and the impact of colonialism on Christianity's role there.
