About The Book: In the book "Christianity in India: An Historical Narrative”, this approach is the most accurate way to portray the progress of Christianity in India, as it was largely due to the efforts of individual minds and their thoughts that the religion began to take root in the region. However, once the initial obstacles were overcome and the foundation was laid, the role of individual character and exertion became relatively less important. While there may have been notable individuals like Xavier, Ziegenbalg, Carey, and Martyn in later periods, their contributions were overshadowed by the overall progress of the religion. Therefore, as the history of Christianity in India unfolds, it naturally moves towards a more general and diffuse perspective, with a focus on the results rather than individual landmarks. About The Author: Sir John William Kaye KCSI FRS (1814 – 1876) was a British military historian, civil servant and army officer. His major works on military history include a three-volume work on The History of the Sepoy War in India. This work was revised later by George Bruce Malleson and published in six volumes in 1890 as Kaye and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny. He was educated at Eton College (1823–1826) and at the Royal Military College, Addiscombe (1831–1832). From 1832 to 1841 he was an officer in the Bengal Artillery commissioned on 14 December 1832 as a Second-Lieutenant and on 19 August 1840 promoted to Lieutenant. During his time in the Army he began following literary pursuits both in India and in Britain.
