Re-culturation An Attempt to Reconstruct Northern Indian Christian Samskaras in the Light of Manusmrti and Law of Moses: A Postcolonial Subaltern Response
This book is an exposition to unveil the possibility of the cultural re-construction of North Indian Protestant Christian traditions (Sa?skaras). The foundation of the Indian Church (other than St. Thomas tradition) is laid on the Western pattern and doctrines, and the colonial Church has failed or somehow avoided to use the rich Indian heritage, as the European Church utilized the Greco-roman traditions. Therefore, the native Christians are largely alien to the contextual reality of India, thus, there remains a sustaining cultural and social dilemma.this scholarly work has explored few new possibilities to re-capture a new Indic vision as the postcolonial quest, by de-colonizing the colonized tradition, with selective use of the Manusm?ti and the Law of Moses, aiming to advocate that Christianity can be fitted within the plurality of Samaj Dharma of India. In brief, the book is a model of Sa?skaric re-culturation towards the cultural Indianness of the Indian Church.
