Christianity in Indian History: Issues of Culture, Power and Knowledge is a collection of wide ranging essays on Indian Christianity and Christian missionaries in India. It attempts to identify and reflect upon Christianity’s regional and temporal variations from Early Modern times, its links with global Christian institutions and movements, its diverse cultural practices, and its relationship with caste and class. The essays underline the existence of many Christianities in Indian history, their mutual linkages, their exchanges and interactions as well as their debates with other Indian religions and communities. With the intention of anchoring Christian historical experiences within a larger Indian modernity and identifying the specificities and influences of Christian identities as well as locating their intermeshing with other Indian identities
