Missionary Priest Leads Indian Village Revolution
Father Ferrer, a Jesuit priest from Spain, built a Farmers Service Society in Marmad district near Bombay, transforming 700 barren villages with loans, fertilizers, and oxen. He attracted donations, aided farmers, and drew protests from ultranationalists and local lenders. The Maharashtra government ordered him to quit by April 26, with expulsion postponed to June 26 amid calls for an impartial inquiry. Ferrer sought Indian citizenship, saying he served India to help its villages.
