Parna Sengupta examines the period from 1850 to the 1930's and finds that modern education effectively reinforced the place of religion in colonial India. Debates over the mundane aspects of schooling, rather than debates between religious leaders, transformed the everyday definitions of what it meant to be a Christian, Hindu, or Muslim. Speaking to our own time, Sengupta concludes that today's Qur'an schools are not, as has been argued, throwbacks to a premodern era. She argues instead that Qur'an schools share a pedagogical frame with today's Christian and Muslim schools, a connection that plays out the long history of this colonial encounter.EducationIndiaBengalHistoryHindusEducationIndiaBengalHistoryMuslimsEducationIndiaBengalHistoryChurch schoolsIndiaBengalHistorybengal.christianity.colonial india.colonialism.comparative religion.contemporary perspective.global christianity.hinduism.hindus.historical.imperialism.islam.missionaries.missionary schools.modern education.modernization.muslims.nonfiction.pedagogical.political.quran schools.religious education.religious historians.religious leaders.religious scholars.religious studies.retrospective.secularization.western perspective.EducationHistory.HindusEducationHistory.MuslimsEducationHistory.Church schoolsHistory.371.071/25414Sengupta Parna1971-1560607MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786708303321Pedagogy for religion3826720UNINA
