By the time the Maharaj Libel case reached its peak, it was clear that the trial was not merely about Karsandas Mulji’s article but rather about Hinduism, specifically the worship of Krishna, as perceived by nineteenth-century British Protestants. The court conceded that it was ‘obviously impossible to form anything like an adequate judgment of any religious system on any mere series of extracts’. However, both judges on the bench had their preconceived notions about Hinduism. Justice Joseph Arnould, in his judgment, described the Vallabhacharya sect as a degradation of ‘the sublime Brahminical doctrine of union with “Brahman”’. This effectively gave legal sanction to the philosophical conception of Hinduism promoted by European and Indian Orientalists, while condemning a form of popular worship practiced by thousands in the Bombay Presidency.
