Abstract In 1920 and 1922, an Indian Christian called Sadhu Sundar Singh toured Britain. Widely renowned in the global Christian community in the interwar period, Singh was notorious for certain stories of miracles, for his appearance and for the ways in which he epitomised Eastern Christianity. Using Singh’s correspondence and a range of newspapers, this article argues that British audiences were attracted to Singh because of his appearance and ethnicity and because he conformed to stereotypes of essentialised Indian spirituality despite his Christian faith. It argues that the reception to Singh in Britain must be understood in relation to the perpetuation of Orientalist understandings of Indians and Indian religions in the interwar period.

在两次世界大战期间的英国接受巡回印度基督教“神秘主义者”萨杜·桑达尔·辛格 (Sadhu Sundar Singh) 的招待会

摘要 1920 年和 1922 年，一位名叫萨杜·桑达尔·辛格的印度基督徒访问了英国。在两次世界大战期间，辛格在全球基督教社区中广为人知，他因某些奇迹故事、他的外表以及他代表东方基督教的方式而臭名昭著。这篇文章使用辛格的信件和一系列报纸，认为英国观众被辛格所吸引是因为他的外表和种族，以及尽管他有基督教信仰，但他仍符合基本印度灵性的刻板印象。它认为，英国对辛格的接受必须与两次世界大战期间东方主义对印度人和印度宗教的理解保持联系来理解。
