Curiosity leads me to somewhere and I end up disturbed...

Yesterday, while reading about AIIMS founder Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, I found her father Harnam Singh was converted to Christianity by Bengali Missionary Golaknath Chatterjee.

This Golaknath, a Brahmin got converted to
Christianity after getting inspired by Alexander Duff & Ram Mohan Roy.
Kali Charan Chatterjee, a Brahmin got converted to Christianity by Duff & married Golaknaths daughter,
Golaknath then asked Kalicharan to go for Punjab for missionary activities & later Golaknath himself
came down to Jalandhar & converted the King Harnam Singh.
Golaknath gave his another daughter Priscilla to Harnam & Amrit Kaur was the couple's youngest of 10 children.
Once king followed Jesus, it wasn't difficult for them to convert his subjects too.

Golaknath in turn got 500
Acres of land at Punjab.
Indira Gandhi tried to confiscate the property and these Missionaries approached SC challenging her..
The Convent Educated Judges sided with Jesus & in this case
reversed their earlier judgement giving rights to Parliament to amend Constitution.
For those who wants to know who Duff was?
Here's his brief story. https://twitter.com/Sheshapatangi/status/1250473962267533312?s=19
