Abstract
This essay examines varied perceptions of Christian missionaries, upper-caste Hindu reformers, and Dalits regarding religious conversions to Christianity, particularly by Dalit women, in colonial India. Simultaneously, it also converses with some of the works on US Christianity, to reflect on how transnational studies can enrich our understanding about religion in the Americas and expand our archival arenas. In the process, the essay contemplates a counter-history of Christianity through intersecting metaphors of sentiment, vernacular, gender, and sartorial desires.
