Christianity in the Indian subcontinent is as old as Christianity itself, although Christians have consistently remained a small minority within the broader population. This book delves into the encounters between Christianity and the Indian people across various historical periods, highlighting the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

This book examines the influence of Christianity on Indian society, focusing on the cultural, economic, and intellectual contributions of Christians across various domains―including education, healthcare, social services, economic development, the arts, architecture, languages, culture, politics, public administration, and the armed forces. The book examines key figures, organisations and institutions to trace the significant role Christians have played in the country's freedom struggle, nation-building efforts, and social development, leaving a lasting impact on the shaping of modern India.

This book will be of interest to general readers and students and researchers of social science, religion, history, anthropology, sociology, and political science.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
