William Carey: Is This ENGLISHMAN the FATHER of Modern INDIA ? (ft. Vishal Mangalwadi) | EP 88

SAFT Podcast

One of the "nastiest evangelists". That's how Rajiv Malhotra tagged William Carey. But is this foreigner the unsung father of modern India and not Raja Ram Mohan Roy? Why did he fight against Sati? Why did he contribute towards linguistic and agricultural leaps? More importantly, why did he do all this while his fellow countrymen looked to merely pillage India? Vishal Mangalwadi joins in on what is an insightful dialogue about a well known man's little known contributions.
