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 schoolsIndiaBengalHistoryEducationHistory.HindusEducationHistory.MuslimsEducationHistory.Church schoolsHistory.371.071/25414Sengupta Parna1971-1828373MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911101910803321Pedagogy for religion4399334UNINA
