India's Problem, Krishna or Christ by John P. Jones explores the complex interplay between Hinduism and Christianity in colonial India. The book presents a comparative analysis of the two major religious figures, Krishna and Christ, and examines their roles in shaping Indian society amidst the pressures of Western influence and missionary work. Jones delves into the cultural conflict that arises from religious conversion efforts and the theological debate surrounding the compatibility of Indian religion with Christian teachings. Set against the backdrop of colonial India, the book addresses issues of social change and spiritual transformation as the British Empire's presence led to increased interfaith dialogue. By examining the impact of these religious beliefs on Indian history and society, Jones provides a thought-provoking discussion on the broader implications of religious beliefs and colonialism. India's Problem, Krishna or Christ offers valuable insights into the dynamics of religious and cultural interactions during a pivotal period in Indian history.
