Rising Christianity in Indian Hindu Community

Italy - India is a country of multi cultured traditions. Besides linguistic


composition , it has many religious affiliation with three thousand years old
Hindu culture. As a current estimates these are as : Hindu < 70%, Muslims 14%
with Suuni’s as 10.4%, Chistians as 8% with 1.55% as Catholics and 4.5% as
traditional conversant beliefs, Sikhs as 2.9% and others important sect of
extended beliefs. It has a 71% rural populations with 49% women population.
Most of people in this country lacks proper food and medical facilities,even
though the administration divides the Hindu’s into four categories, GC.OBCs,SC
and ST for devlopments. The situation is still a question of bread and butter.
Mostly ruling parties had been failed to address the issues properly and these
has been miss utilized for generating favored votes. Governments have failed
to give sustain basics to the rural and poor dweller of cities. In India Christianity is considered as
a foreign religion and it is considered as to undermine India's Hindu-Muslim cultures. There are
certain concepts in Christianity I am proud of : charity for others, the equality of system in many
western countries, Christ’s message of love and compassion… . Earlier Christianity in then region
spread as a result of the British religious policy in the area. At present almost all of the hill
population is Christian. The Bible is available in all dialects. The priests are mostly from South India.
The churches are spread throughout the hills in villages. Most of these churches have schools
attached to them. Tribal peoples constitute 8.2% of the nation's total population. Most of the
north-Eatern states are full of tribals. Ethnic and tribal groups believed to be the aboriginal
population of India. They comprise a substantial indigenous minority of the population of India.
These are particularly present in the Indian states of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh,
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Mizoram and
other northeastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Officially recognized by the
Indian government as "Scheduled Tribes" in the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of India, they
are often grouped together with scheduled castes in the category "Scheduled Castes and
Tribes", which is eligible for certain affirmative action measures. The concept of 'original
inhabitant' is directly related to the initial peopling of India, which, due to the debate on topics
such as the Indo-Aryan migration hypothesis, has been a contentious area of research and
discourse. Some anthropologists hypothesize that the region was settled by multiple human
migrations over tens of millennia, which makes it even harder to select certain groups as being
truly aboriginal. Although considered uncivilized and primitive, these tribal were usually not held
to be intrinsically impure. Once these tribal were independent people , having their own rulers.
This relative autonomy and collective ownership of tribal land by tribals was severely disrupted
by the advent of the Mughals and subsequently the British, both of which consolidated
feudalism in India, first under the jagirdari system and then under the zamindari system. The tribal
Christians celebrate Christmas with full enthusiasm. The tribals are very fond of Indian and
Western music. They have accepted English as a medium of dealing but they write in their own
dialect. Most of the converted Christian do not adopt the Christian names. They feel that the
use of their dialect is a cultural requirement. On other hand lack of organized approach, lack of
funding and enthuse, broad mindness, continuous Hindu based political issues have suppressed
the major Hindus. The Christianity adaptation in educated or established Hindu families is
believed to attach with political, financial and social gains. With time the oppose to “Hindu to
Christianity” conversion is decreasing compared to ‘Muslim to Christianity’ conversion. The
Christian missionary activities are very strong and it has been reflected in present life of Indians. It
is nice to see how much Christianity is taking over India .Today there are five Christian chief
ministers in five Indian states, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. It is
going to be increased in upcoming future.
