The Future of Christian Mission in India
Colonial missionaries, both Catholic and Protestant, arrived in India with the grandiose vision of converting the pagans because, like St. Peter (Acts 4:12) and most of the church fathers, they honestly believed that there is no salvation outside the church (extra ecclesiam nulla salus). At the end of the "great Protestant century," however, Christians made up less than 3 percent of the population in India, and the hope of the missionary was nearly shattered.

The British looted and plundered us for 200 long years. Drained our economy of $45 trillion and left us in abject poverty. In ancient India, roughly 90% of the population was literate. Every hamlet in India had a school, but once the British left, our literacy rate fell to 16%. As a result of their atrocities, people from all over India, from many areas and linguistic groups as well as from various religious backgrounds actively participated in the 1857 Indian Freedom Movement against the British. It is a wonderful illustration of variety and harmony. It is depressing to learn that our historians utterly failed to compile and portray the tangible records that were accessible regarding the movement. They weren't sure whether to refer to it as the first Indian liberation struggle or call it a mutiny like the British did. Those who assert it was an act of mutiny might change their mind after reading this book.)
