	The First Hindu Mission To America by Sunrit Mullick
	Price : Rs 850.00
	Your Price : Rs 850.00

This book positions Brahmo Samaj leader Protap Chunder Mozoomdar as the originator of the Hindu mission movement to the United States of America in the late 19th century. It is known that Protap Mozoomdar, together with Swami Vivekananda, represented Hinduism at the Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893. But what has missed the focus of scholars is that Mozoomdar visited the United States ten years earlier in 1883, making him the pioneer of the Hindu mission movement to the United States.

The book is the first detailed study of Protap Chunder Mozoomdar in America.

It is written through primary research on American newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts, diaries and archival material available in American libraries, and material in possession of the author.

On the whole, the book presents new information of interest to both the general reader and the scholarly community.
