Missionary work in the British Indian Colonies (which included India, Burma, Ceylon, and Siam) was difficult and slow. The obstacles facing these missionaries included language barriers, severe weather, illness (each one suffered from malaria and cholera), multiple religious and government resistance. The most serious difficulty in working with the native Indians was the established caste system. Differing views on honesty was another cultural barrier between the missionaries and the natives. Different problems were faced as the missionaries attempted to teach the European emigrants in India, many of whom were soldiers. The wide-spread immorality in the army cantonment towns, as well as the resistance from officers and government leaders, slowed missionary efforts among the army men.
