TELUGU COUNTRY ILLUSTRATED PUBLISHED BY 15 TUFTON STREET, WESTMINSTER, S.W. 1912 NOTE The present volume is issued as a companion volume to the four similar books on Indian and Burmese Missions which the S.P.G. has recently published. Its object is to give a general account of all Christian Missions in the Telugu country and to give in greater detail a sketch of the particular work which the S.P.G. helps to support. The Society is greatly indebted to Mr. Hibbert-Ware for the writing of this book, which we trust may be the means of extending interest in a part of India where Christian missionary work is spreading more rapidly than in almost any other part.

  • Responding to Violence in the Homeland: Identity and Transnational Activism Within the Indian Christian Diaspora
    1 RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE IN THE HOMELAND: IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM WITHIN THE INDIAN CHRISTIAN DIASPORA A dissertation presented By Autumn L. Mathias to The Department of Sociology & Anthropology In partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of Sociology Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts October 2017 2 RESPONDING TO VIOLENCE IN THE HOMELAND: IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM WITHIN THE INDIAN CHRISTIAN DIASPORA A dissertation presented By Autumn L. Mathias ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University October 2017 3 ABSTRACT Within the last twenty years, instances of violence against Christian minorities in India have drawn international attention. The rise of the Hindu nationalist movement and concordant political shifts are often cited as precipitating factors to what many deem as systematic religious persecution. However, few sociological studies have investigated how Indian Christians in diaspora have reacted to these significant events. To explore this topic, I employed a qualitative, phenomenological approach including in-depth interviews with forty-seven individuals residing in the United States and Canada, participant observation at six events, and a review of diasporic and India-based media. Throughout this dissertation, I advance the argument that diaspora Indian Christians’ perceptions of and responses to persecution are connected in a nuanced way to translocational positionality. More specifically, remembrances of persecution events, perceptions of the causes of these events, types of transnational responses, motivations for spiritual and/or political forms of activism, and engagement in ecumenical and/or interreligious networks are inherently linked and best understood within an integrated theoretical framework including translocational positionality, transnational social fields, memory, and the social ecological model.

T h e sevent3r-ninth annual meeting of the American Baptist Missionary Union was lulled to order at ten o’clock a . m., in the First Baptist £hurch, by President Augustus *H. Strong. D. D., LL.. D., of New York. The congregation sang “ Jesus shall reign where’er the sun.” I The Scriptures, Psalm 2 and Revelation, chap. 5, were read by Rev. Robert jMcDonald of Massachusetts, and prayer was offered by Rev. A . K. Parker, D. D., of Illinois. President Strong then addressed the Union : — Fathers and Brethren : I count it a great and undeserved honor that I am called to preside over the meetings of the American Baptist Missionary Union. My predecessors in the chair have been men greatly revered and beloved, and I shrink from the attempt to follow them. Two things, however, give me encouragement. The first is that in becoming your President I enter into the heritage of many prayers, past and present, for the officers and servants of the Union. The second is that I know' I may rely upon your kind and cordial co-operation. Both the place and the time in which we meet should give us stimulus and hope. The star of Christ’s empire has been taking its way westward, and in this meeting the Missionary Union holds its first session in the Mountain States. Herein it asserts its claim to the boundless conti­ nent, and makes tributary to missions the invention, the commerce, the resources, of these rising commonwealths.

This, the Seventy-Fifth issue of the Catholic Directory of India, Burma and Ceylon, goes out under the happy auspices of a Blessing from the Visitor Apostolic to India. His Excellency the Most Revel. Alexis H. Lepicier, O.S.M., D D ., has very graciously blessed the Compiler and all those who have co-operated with him in bringing out the Directory. That this issue has merited in any special manner this courteous treat­ ment, is, to the Compiler, a matter of doubt, for he is fully aware that in spite of every effort at accuracy, errors and misprints have crept in. Yet, he feels sure that this Volume, like its, renowned predecessors, goes forth on its annual mission of usefulness and interest to a large number of Catholics of India, Burma and Ceylon. In the name of his Co-operators and in his own name, the Compiler thanks His Excellency the Visitor Apostolic for his very kind thought and Blessing. s It is a pleasant duty also to the Compiler to thank all those who have helped him in getting out this issue, though he has also to witzs/on confess that a few have failed in submitting >the usual sacred returns.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Christianity arrived in the area which is now Pakistan well before the advent of Islam, but was extinguished for a while by Muslim persecution, before being re-introduced by Western missionaries. The Pakistani Christian community of today numbers about three million people, who are mainly the descendants of mass conversions of Chuhra people about a century ago. Consequently the community has a low socio-economic status on average. Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, apparently intended equality for all citizens, but there has been a range of other opinions as to the place of Islam in Pakistan and the status of non- Muslim minorities. The passing of the Objectives Resolution in 1949 began a process of Islamization, which included changes to the legislation and constitution and an increasing level of discrimination against Christians at many levels of society, significantly by zamindars and the police.
