About the Book
This book examines the emergence of Catholic ashrams across India and their role within the broader Ashram Movement. These institutions, promoted by various Christian denominations, are part of the larger Indigenisation or Inculturation plan. The Ashram Movement represents a concerted effort by Christians, including Protestants and Syrian Orthodox, to adapt their religious practices to Indian cultural norms. Despite their extensive efforts, the book argues that Christianity has not made the desired progress in India, despite colonial backing, financial support, and a long-standing presence in the country.
Sita Ram Goel critiques the literature and strategies around the movement, offering insights into the failures of these religious missions in India, even after decades of support and freedom. Through his scholarly work, Goel examines the historical, cultural, and religious backdrop of these efforts, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of Christianity and Indian society.
