    British Period (17571947 CE)

    The British gained control over India after defeating


    the Mughal empire; they decided to let the Indians to
    practice their religion and culture without obstruction.
    Christian missionaries later came to India, alongside
    scholars who sought to westernize the population. A
    series of reformers arose in this time period and
    strove to rid Hinduism of its superstitions. Gandhi
    furthered these ideas through his teachings and
    actions, as he helped negotiate Indias independence.
    He strongly believed in ahimsa (non-violence) and
    other Hindu teachings. The term Hindutva was used
    during this time to describe the force that could unite
    all Hindus.
