India's Silent Revolution" refers to the profound socio-economic transformation that took place in the country, primarily driven by rural empowerment and grassroots-level changes. This revolution, often unnoticed, saw the rise of new leaders, the spread of education, and advancements in technology, particularly in agriculture and information. It highlights the emergence of India's middle class, economic liberalization, and the increasing participation of women in various sectors. Despite not being widely recognized, the silent revolution reshaped India's political landscape, significantly reducing poverty and inequality, while creating a more vibrant and self-reliant nation, eager to assert its place on the global stage.
Frederick Bohn Fisher (1882–1938) was an American Methodist bishop, missionary, and author. Born in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, he served as a pastor and missionary in Agra, India, from 1904 to 1905. In 1920, he was elected as a bishop and assigned to the Calcutta episcopal area. During his tenure, he was instrumental in founding Mount Hermon School in Darjeeling, which later named a house in his honor, Fisher House. After resigning from the episcopacy in 1930, Fisher returned to the U.S., serving as pastor in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and later in Detroit. He authored several works, including That Strange Little Brown Man Gandhi (1932).
