Why were christian missionaries attacked many people in the country ? Would some people have supported too? if so for what reasons.

usually,according to the early india,low caste people were not allowed education and this social injustice was used as a tool by christians to increase their number in society.They rose their voice against this injustice by building schools,hospitals etc for lower caste people and slowly,by supporting  lower caste onesin all matters,they converted them in to christians.Eventhough uppercaste people opposed these christian missionaries,tribals and lowercaste people supported them as these missionaries supported them and battled for their rights.all these people formed one group and they attacked many people in the country.

 Like the reformers, the Christian missionaries too were involved in different reform activities. They set up schools for the underprivileged sections of society like the “lower” castes and tribal groups. They questioned the various social injustices. Like the reformers, they too were opposed by the various conservative sections of society. Their attempts at reformation would have been seen by many as an attempt to destabilise the existing Indian social order. Their reform activities would also have been looked at with greater suspicion because of the close link between their religion and their actions. Many would have felt that at the heart of their actions was the agenda of religious conversion. So, the missionaries would naturally have been attacked by many people across the country.

this ans is absolutely right i had search in my book

In the 19th century, many Christian missionaries set up schools, colleges and hospitals and admitted children of Adivasis and Dalits. Having seen the effects of the practice of Untouchability, they sought to provide some social justice to the oppressed. Children from such schools and colleges now sought higher education and began to question such practices and sought to change their world. This tilted the balance of power and was not tolerated by the upper castes. They questioned the workings of Christian missionaries and opposed any activity of conversion. The missionaries were attacked on all stands legally, socially and in writings. Some of the attacks were also violent in nature.

However, the missionaries garnered support from administration, tribal communities for whom they worked. Support also came from the Dalit groups which were given social justice to some extent by these missionaries. The missionaries brought to light the discrimination that the oppressed had to suffer. Moreover, most social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Jyotiba Phule were educated in these missionary schools and championed the cause of social justice. Due to the efforts of such social reformers, Untouchability was abolished.

Like the reformers, the Christian missionaries too were involved in different reform activities. They set up schools for the underprivileged sections of society like the lower castes and tribal groups. They questioned the various social injustices. Like the reformers, they too were opposed by the various conservative sections of society. Their attempts at reformation would have been seen by many as an attempt to destabilise the existing Indian social order. Their reform activities would also have been looked at with greater suspicion because of the close link between their religion and their actions. Many would have felt that at the heart of their actions was the agenda of religious conversion. So, the missionaries would naturally have been attacked by many people across the country.

However, as in the case of the reformers, there would also have been many who would have supported the Christian missionaries and their activities. A majority of this support base would have consisted of those very people who benefited from the reform activities of the missionaries, such as the untouchables. Intellectuals and reformers who themselves were involved in various reform activities would also have supported the missionaries.
