  Explores Christianity's trajectory as a social and cultural force in southern India. This title shows how caste was central to the way in which categories of religion and culture were formed and negotiated in missionary encounters, and how the social and semiotic possibilities of Christianity lead to a new politic of equal rights in South India.
