We recently welcomed Chandra Mallampalli, historian of religion and India, to Upper House. In this conversation we hear about his vocation as a historian and the dynamic history of religion in India, including the growth of Pentecostal Christianity in recent decades. Chandra talks with longtime friend and Upper House’s Fellows Program Director (and fellow historian) Eric Carlsson.

Chandra Mallampalli is the Fletcher Jones Chair of Social Sciences and Professor of History at Westmont College. He received his Ph.D. in South Asian History from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.  He is the author of four books and many scholarly articles. The basis for today's episode is Chandra’s recently released book, South Asia's Christians: Between Hindu and Muslim.
