A Chitpavan Brahmin scholar from Benares, Goreh set out to refute Christianity and defend Hindu philosophy on paper — and found his own arguments turning against him under his honest scrutiny. He was baptised in 1848 and became one of India's most respected Christian thinkers: the apologist undone by the rigour of his own inquiry.
