Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The author reveals just how pervasive a Christian discourse was in shaping the terms of British Imperial rule, whether it be the Government of India Act, the Simon Commission, or the Round Table Conferences. Many Christians subscribed to a tradition of orientalism which saw British rule in India as evidence of the workings of divine providence. The author explores key aspects of church historiography, the activities of the Indian YMCA and the Quaker movement, and draws together
these different strands in the wider context of Britain's governance over, and complex relationship with, India.

A valuable and interesting read ... Studdert-Kennedy has provided us with an informative and worthwhile text that may well help us to understand some of the tension that exists in modern India.
