Summary
Alexander Duff (1806-1878) was a prominent Christian missionary in India who pioneered the use of education as a missionary tool and played a major role in the development of schools and universities in Modern India. As the first Church of Scotland missionary, he arrived in India in 1830 and founded the mission on western principles of higher education using the English language. Both the Church of Scotland and the Free Church of Scotland established mission stations in India and tried to establish Christian communities and churches amongst Indians and various other tribes.
