Hinduism and Christianity in Orissa is a book written by Otis R. Bacheler that provides a comprehensive overview of the religious and cultural landscape of the Indian state of Orissa. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part offering a detailed description of the country, its people, and their way of life, while the second part focuses on the differences and similarities between the Hindu and Christian religions in the region.Bacheler begins by describing the geography and history of Orissa, including its various kingdoms and dynasties. He then delves into the religious beliefs and practices of the Hindu population, including their pantheon of gods and goddesses, their rituals and ceremonies, and their social customs and traditions. He also discusses the caste system and its impact on society, as well as the role of women in Hindu culture.In the second part of the book, Bacheler compares and contrasts Hinduism and Christianity in Orissa. He examines the similarities and differences between the two religions in terms of their beliefs, practices, and values, and explores the ways in which they have interacted and influenced each other over time. He also discusses the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in Orissa, including resistance from the local population and the difficulty of converting people from a deeply entrenched Hindu tradition.Overall, Hinduism and Christianity in Orissa is a fascinating and informative book that provides a valuable insight into the religious and cultural dynamics of this unique region of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
