The socio-economic and socio-religious condition of India during the closing of the 18th century leaves the impression that the whole country was in a very dismal condition. During this stage India badly needed some changes for its overall growth and development which was greatly influenced by the arrival of the Scottish Missionaries. The Scottish Missionaries sowed the seeds of intellectual development of Bengali Intelligentsia which is an undeniable fact. The work of the Scottish Missionaries presents a wonderful example of humanity tolerance and conviction. They brought a sense of enlightenment among the public not only in their beliefs but also in their thoughts Alexander Duff was the pioneer in introducing the second period of Missionary work. His far reaching efforts left a deeper mark than any other Missionaries. (jacket). Seller Inventory # 110521
