Abstract
Chapter 4 details the political connotations that the language of universal religion came to acquire when Arya Samajists and colonial officials negotiated the colonial policy of religious toleration in the years after 1907. As colonial officials became preoccupied with the question of how to determine whether their organization was religious in the generic sense, or whether it was compromised by political entanglements, Arya Samaj leaders found new utility in the language of universal religion. After 1907, characterizations of shuddhi as religious proselytizing subserved Arya Samaj claims to religious freedom from government interference.
