Ian Jack on the conflict between religion and free speech

Some years ago I tried to write a book, an important part of which was
to tell the life of a Baptist missionary in early 19th-century India.
This man, William Carey, a cobbler from Northamptonshire, has many
quite wonderful achievements to his name. He was a linguist, a printer,
a botanist, and energetic in all these departments of the material
world: India and early western understanding of it owe him a great
deal. And yet he came to India and persisted in it, suffering hardship
and disease, for very different reasons.
