Shapurji Edalji
Shapurji Edalji (1841 or 1842–1918) was probably the first person from South Asia to be made the vicar of an English parish. His achievements have however been overshadowed by the worldwide fascination with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s campaign to prove his son George innocent of wounding a pony in 1903. The popularity of Julian Barnes’s novel ''Arthur and George'' (2005) has had the same effect.
== Early life ==
Shapurji Edalji was born in Mumbai in 1841 or 1842, the son of Doralji Edalji, a Parsi merchant. He attended the Elphinstone College, where he was taught by Dadabhai Naoroji and was a classmate of Dinshaw Eduljee Wacha, who along with Naoroji, himself a former Elphinstone scholar,〔Sir D. E. Wacha, ''Shells from the Sands of Bombay: My Recollections and Reminiscences 1860-75'', 1920〕 became a founder member of the Indian National Congress in Mumbai in 1885.
In defiance of his family Edalji converted to Christianity in 1856,〔John Wilson, ''The Star of Bethlehem and the Magi from the East: A Sermon Preached on the Occasion of the Baptism of a Parsi Youth'' 31 August, MDCCCLVI, Smith Taylor & Co, Bombay, 2nd ed, 1857〕 under the influence of Free Kirk missionary John Wilson.〔George Smith, ''Life of John Wilson'', John Murray, 1878〕 He was admitted to the Free Kirk College in Mumbai in 1864. He then worked for a year as a missionary among the pre-literate Warli people before becoming an Anglican. He published a ''Gujerati and English Dictionary'' (1863), ''The Brahma Samaja'', which was a lecture to the Bombay Dialectic Association (1864), and a ''Grammar of the Gujerati'' Language (1867).
