The Father of Modern India: William Carey

Hindutva is right: modern India did not come from Hinduism. That is why orthodox Hindus see it to be incompatible with Sanatan Dharma (Eternal Tradition). Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar sought to uplift the downtrodden. because they were inspired by the book that William Carey injected into India’s soul. The British East India Company fought the Mughals, the Marathas and the Maharajas to protect and grow its income. It had no interest in transforming oral dialects into literary languages to educate “low” caste persons to become scholars like Brahmins, govern as maharajas, or run businesses like merchants. Self-sacrificing, hardworking, visionary missionaries like William Carey created modern India because they believed the Bible that God loves India and is committed to bless it with His light.
