 Explore religion and society in South Asia 
 through the expansive history of the Jesuits in the subcontinent. 

RINALD
D'SOUZA

Rinald D’Souza is a historian of religion and society in modern South Asia. He specialises on twentieth-century Christianity and the history of the Jesuits in India.

His current research explores the self-fashioning of Adivasi Jesuits through the missionary periodical press.

Historia Domus draws on the transnational and global character of the Society of Jesus to reveal its intertwining and influence within specific regional spaces — across time. How have these interconnections shaped religion and society in South Asia?

Historia Domus brings together a collaborative database that collates resources for research on the Jesuits, as well as on Christianity in South Asia.

Here’s a Jesuit perspective to the Jubilee.
