New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments

"New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century" by John Morrison is a story about the big changes happening in India in the 1800s because of British rule, which challenges the common idea that India never changes. It looks at how things like society, politics, and religion were all changing as new ideas came about and how people started questioning old traditions, especially those with some education. The story starts by talking about how the British thought India was the same all the time, but the author wants to show that this isn't true and looks at the new thinking, like seeds planted in the ground, taking root mostly within the educated middle class. The main point is to show what India used to think and how it's different now, including the new shapes education and personal friendships formed in new ideas.
