Hatcher situates the theology and moral vision set forth in discourses in 1839 by Hindu elite, gathered in Calcutta to propagate their faith in a non-idolatrous and morally responsible mode of worship, against the backdrop of change in colonial Calcutta, that had an influence on religious and intellectual life in nineteenth-century onwards.
