Abstract
If we define culture as a way of life comprising the totality of behaviour, thoughts, literature, language, religion, social and material achievements of a given society, we shall find that cultural change is not only a continuous process but also is influenced by internal and external forces. The aim of this paper is not only to show that aspects of Baganda culture were continuously changing before the introduction of Islam, but also that Islam accelerated these changes and in many cases made a profound impact on the Baganda way of life. The religion of the Baganda was undergoing a process of change, getting away from decentralization towards centralized authority. The coming of Islam to Buganda in 1844 with its emphasis on the one God, not only completed the process but also had a profound impact in the way the Baganda conceived of the universe.
