About the Book
The book offers a critical examination of Christian missionary activities in post-independence India, especially in the context of the Indian Constitution adopted in 1950. It explores the evolution of Christian missions after India gained independence, highlighting the shift in nationalist resistance and the growing acceptance of missionary activities by political leaders, including those associated with Nehruvian Secularism. The work critiques the ways in which Christian missions, often seen in alliance with Western imperialism, continue to influence Indian society. Referencing K.M. Panikkar’s analysis of Western dominance and other reports such as the Niyogi Committee Report, the book argues that missionary efforts in India have had political motives and have contributed to the disruption of indigenous solidarity. It presents a thorough critique of the role of Christianity in India’s socio-political landscape, with a focus on evangelism, the political implications of conversions, and the dynamics of foreign financial influence on the Church in India.
