Postal stamp year of death

[edit]

Link to issue of postal stamp says the year of death as 1920 - actually the correct date is 1922, as indicated in the link provided in the external link. 1922 is the date given in the book indicated for further reading. --Bhadani 15:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reference

[edit]

Most of the contents except some quotes may be found in the book mentioned under the section - Further reading. --Bhadani (talk) 03:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of the content of this page seems to have disappeared sometime around 1 March. I had copied most of it (less the references, unfortunately) and hope that someone else will be able to reinstate it fully. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chadwohl (talkcontribs) 21:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Feast day?

[edit]

Her feast day in the Episcopal Church (USA) is correct and included as April 5, the anniversary of her death. However, I noticed today that the Church of England may use April 30 as her commemoration. I haven't included it yet, because I'd like someone to confirm it and I don't have the time, nor do I know offhand the quick reference checkup, like satucket.com for the Episcopal Calendar.. Once I saw a reference list for lots of churches within the Anglican communion, but apparently didn't bookmark it, and was unsuccessful in finding it again later, despite searching for an hour...Jweaver28 (talk) 22:33, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Influence on Early Pentecostalism

[edit]

I would like to add some recent scholarship that demonstrates the influence that Pandita Ramabai had on the early Pentecostal movement. Including Anderson, A. (2006) “Pandita Ramabai, the Mukti revival and global Pentecostalism”, Transformation, vol. 23 (1), pp. 37-48.

Case, J.R. (2006) "And ever the twain shall meet: The holiness missionary movement and the birth of world Pentecostalism, 1870–1920", Religion and American Culture: A Journal of Interpretation, vol. 16 (2), pp. 125-160. McGee, G.B. (1999a) ""Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire!" The mission legacy of Minnie Abrams", Missiology: An International Review, vol. 27 (4), pp. 515-522. McGee, G.B. (1999b) ""Latter rain" falling in the East: early-twentieth-century Pentecostalism in India and the debate over speaking in tongues", Church History, vol. 68 (3), pp. 648-665.

Proposed changes

[edit]

After reviewing the page, I see there are a number of areas for improvement: -I plan to delete the phrase "was a female" since the subsequent sentence establishes her gender clearly -I plan to confirm the claims made with the support of not particularly neutral or high-quality sources. For example, was she really a speaker at the Indian National Congress meeting in 1889? The citation given is an self-published non-peer reviewed online article. -I plan to remove the puzzling citations that lead you to the personal website of a faculty member at Univ of Tennessee Chattanooga -I plan to confirm the claims made on the basis of a good NY Times article, but which itself relies on scholarship by Uma Chakravarti and others whose published scholarship on Ramabai should be more widely cited. - after making these relatively small changes, I would like to add a section on recent scholarship that sees her as pivotal in the emergence of Pentecostalism in the early 20th century. -finally, I would like to rewrite the lead to capture her historical significance in the history of India, and the history of Christianity in India.

additional proposed changes

[edit]

I also would like to verify and provide additional citations for the section on family life.

influence of Christian missionaries vs. Brahmo Samaj and Hindu reformers

[edit]

A change was made recently to say that it was evangelicals and missionaries that influenced Ramabai's founding of the Arya Mahila Samaj, but that is incorrect. As Meera Kosambi has demonstrated, she first found support for her efforts on behalf of women in circles of Hindu reformers active in colonial capitals from Calcutta to Mumbai to Chennai to Pune. Bryan Hatcher's work on these Hindu reform organizations shows that they in turn were influenced by Christian missionaries, but they should be considered modernizers and reformers in their own right. Otherwise, why call it the ARYA Mahila Samaj? May I ask, what evidence suggests that she was inspired by Christian missionaries at this point in her career?
