Explanation:
Generally, a missionary movement presupposes a group of people who take it as their religious duty to spread their religion to other parts of the World. It is to make others conform to the same belief that a missionary movement is organised.
The British Government had three roles in India, first that of a trader, second that of ruler and then that of a Christian propagandist.
British rulers held and professed Christianity. Consequently British rule was equated with Christian domination.
Early years of British rule: Upto 1813
In the early years of its rule the Company had taken a position of neutrality with regard to the religious and social affairs of its subject. selfstudyhistory.com
The East India Company decided not to interfere with the traditional cultures of the people by supporting missionary work.
The company’s policy was non-interference in Indian education but favouring traditional oriental learning.
The non-interference probably based was on the fear that missionaries through English education expecting to aid conversions might offend the Hindu subjects of the company and create unrest.
They felt that the missionaries would encourage the religious sentiments among the people in India that could affect the business policy and the diplomatic role of the East India Company.
(This policy of non-interference with the customs and traditions of the natives and lack of support for missionary work were reviewed after the Company Charter was reviewed in 1813.)
It was during the 1770s and 1780s that several Englishmen, such as Edmund and Burke, argued that the East India Company’s power could not be justified unless it were exercised with morality and subject to Parliament’s control. But there efforts were not paid heed to.
Then Charles Grant, a junior officer in British East India Company, drafted the original proposal for mission in 1786-87, in their personal capacity, and campaigned for it for decades at their own expense.
Grant sought only for an official endorsement of the East India Company for his proposal to start a missionary endeavour.
He neither sought for Company’s money nor its manpower. He himself offered support to one of the missionaries from his personal capacity.
Yet he was only given a hearing to Lord Cornwallis.
However, though Lord Cornwallis assured him that he would not oppose the move for missions, he could not, as the Governor General, give his active support.
Grant was therefore forced to go to the Christian leaders in England, who were big enough to influence the Government or big enough to fight the Company.
