The Bible and the Making of Modern India Revised Edition - Paperback
About this item
by Vishal Mangalwadi (Author)
Some politicians want to change the name "India." They are embarrassed by the fact that the name and the idea of "India" came from the Bible.
In 1492, Columbus sailed and failed to find the sea route to "India". Vasco da Gama reached Calicut (Kerala) in 1497, to learn that no native called his land, India. The British and the Dutch established their East India Companies in 1600 and 1602 in order to trade with Indonesia [Indian Asia]! Back then, not even the Europeans thought of the Mughal Empire as "India."
This book is first in a series that explains how the Bible created modern India. That fact is as unpalatable to Hindu politicians as to secular historians. They consider the Bible to be discarded childish stories: How could it possibly create, build and sustain great nations?
