Question

Why were Christian missionaries attacked by many people in the country? Would some people have supported them too? If so, for what reasons?

Answer 1

Answer  In the nineteenth century, Christian missionaries started setting up schools for tribal groups and lower caste children. These children were trained to find a footing in the changing world. Soon the poor left the villages and started looking for jobs in the cities. People who looked down on the lower caste did not like the progress of this section of people. Social reformers would have supported the missionaries for their work against social evils.

Answer 2

Christian missionaries were attacked by many people in the country because:-

• In the 19th century, Christian missionaries started to set up schools. Children from tribal groups and lower caste factions used to go to such schools. Children pursued their direction in a changing world. At the same time, poor and lower-caste people started to migrate to cities looking for jobs.
• No, there were no people who supported them because people who used to look down on the lower caste did not like the growth of these people. Thus, they were against search missionaries and attacked them.
• Because if children from tribal groups and lower castes were nourished, they might bring change to former practices of the society. Hence, Christian missionaries were attacked by many people.
