The Mission was originally initiated by the Danish King Friedrich IV, but sustained by religious authorities and mission organisations and supporters  in Germany and Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e The book challenges the notion that Christianity in colonial India was basically imposed from the outside. It also questions the approaches to mission history concentrating exclusively on European  mission societies. Liebau  maintains that the social  history of 18th  century South India cannot be understood  without considering the contributions of the local converts and mission co-workers who  played an important  role from the very beginning in the context of Tranquebar  Mission.","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45616474947735,"sku":"9788187358725","price":538.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788187358725.webp?v=1769294889","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cultural-encounters-in-india-the-local-co-workers-of-the-tranquebar-mission-18th-to-19th-centuries-9788187358725","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
