Summary: This book offers a compelling and data-rich exploration of Christianity’s presence in India, the world’s largest democracy. It examines the unique geographic, cultural, and historical roots of Christian communities—particularly among tribal populations in the Northeast—and how conversion patterns have evolved over the decades. The manuscript delves into complex issues such as missionary activity, educational influence, legal classification challenges, and the concept of “crypto-Christians.” Backed by studies, census trends, and contemporary debates, this book serves as a powerful resource for understanding one of India’s most discussed yet often misunderstood religious minorities. Ideal for scholars, policy thinkers, and anyone curious about religion and identity in modern India.
