Mysore Mission from Jesuits to MEP: With Special Reference to Missionary Activities of J.A. Dubois, MEP, 1792-1823

The core of the work is a study of the French missionary priest J A Dubois MEP (Mission Etrangeres de Paris) during his long ministry (1792 to 1823) in the Mysore region of India. Dubois is a significant and interesting figure in virtue of both his work and his writing. This is the first scale study of his ministry of India. This is the first full-scale study of hi ministry in India. More widely, the work treats the Mysore Mission from the first suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1759 until Dubois's death in 1848. Fr. Prasad has collected, read and digested an impressive amount of relevant literature.
