Christianity Among the Meiteis in Manipur: A Missiological Perspective

 
L. Bimol (Author)
Synopsis

This book comprises a study and analysis of the causes for rejection of Christianity among the Meiteis in Manipur valley. The upshot of the research is that there are three causes for this rejection, i.e., Sanskritisation; Revival of traditional religion and British colonialism in Manipur, and goes on to examine these in detail. Christianity was brought to the Meiteis in 1894. Yet out of approximately 1.3 million Meiteis in Manipur valley alone, there are today not many Christians even after more than a century of missionary endeavor. This fact has made the author raise questions about the resistance of Christianity among the Meiteis in general, and to make a study of this problem. The book then goes on to argue that the study of the causes for rejection of Christianity is crucial at this point of time as the rejection of Christianity in this community is increasingly obvious, and in fact minority Meitei Christians are now faced with persecution.
