Project Gutenberg 2004-12-07 Public domain in the USA. 272 Morrison, John 1856 New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century A Study of Social, Political, and Religious Developments New Ideas in India During the 19th Century Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Shawn Wheeler and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "New Ideas in India During the Nineteenth Century" by John Morrison is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the social, political, and religious transformations occurring in India during the 19th century, a period marked by significant British influence and the rise of new ideas among various Indian communities. The narrative focuses on how these changes challenge long-standing traditions and beliefs, offering a detailed examination of the evolving Indian identity and societal structures. The opening of the book sets the stage for an analysis of the multifaceted impacts of British rule on Indian society, highlighting the pervasive belief that India is unchanging. Morrison suggests, however, that this notion is a misconception, as he identifies a dynamic shift in thought processes, particularly within the educated middle class. He introduces the idea of "seeds" of new concepts being transplanted into Indian culture, drawing parallels to the introduction of foreign plants that have now taken root in the landscape. The text clarifies that the crux of the discussion will be to compare past and present ideas, revealing both the continuity and the change that define modern Indian society, and stressing the importance of education and personal interactions in shaping these emerging thoughts.
