“…The practical purpose of this was to provide what Ian Douglas Richards argued was the "demographic advantage" over non-Hindus and treating conversion as "repugnant" (Suna 2017). It was these continuing oppressive attitudes and the extremely tense social outlook that made some Indian Christians reluctant to join Christianity and witness their faith in public (Daughrity and Athyal 2016).…”

“…This became the basis for total liberation as a theological praxis (Massey 2014). Christianity for the marginalized was not about evangelism and spreading the Gospel, but a commitment to discern the liberative wisdom of God through "imaginative dialogue with diverse cultural expressions of Christian and other religious traditions" (Daughrity and Athyal 2016).…”

“…The tribal and Dalit (untouchable) Christians felt that the Indian Christian theology served the interests of the elite sections of the population. This initiated counter theology in the name of Indian Dalit theology that affirmed and confirmed the aspirations and needs of the marginalized people (Daughrity and Athyal 2016;Massey 2014).…”

Liberation is a psychological attribute that primarily aims towards peace of mind followed by emancipation from fetters. Every individual covets liberation through their actions and expects a conducive milieu to experience the same. However, for oppressed people, the journey to liberation is convoluted as it involves escape from many elements. In a hierarchical society like India, liberation means liberation from the whole structure in which religious affiliation plays an important role. The marginalized section of the population seldom has the liberty to choose for their lives and they continue to remain subordinated under age-old power relations, which are garbed in the names of destiny and ordinance. For them, liberation is a quest to make an identity and reinstate the value of self-worth. Christianity, with the Church as its mission partner, seeks to liberate these caged souls from their precarious standings. This study will try to show how the Canadian Baptist Mission, with a primary objective to evangelize, left a trail of aspiration among the tribal Savaras of Ganjam to undertake the pursuit of liberation and fight oppression on their own.

Located on the disputed border with China, Arunachal Pradesh is the most remote of India’s northeastern states. Christianity is growing there—from 1 percent in 1971 to 30 percent in 2011—but that number may have reached a plateau. Arunachal Pradesh is undergoing rapid sociocultural change. While Hinduism is not well-established in the region, there is tremendous interest in a relatively new religion called Donyi-Polo. Some Hindus argue Donyi-Polo is actually a branch of Hinduism, and they are having some success in making this claim. This article explores the changing religious, political, and cultural dynamics of Arunachal Pradesh.
