  • Conversion in the Pluralistic Religious Context of India: a Missiological Study
    Conversion in the pluralistic religious context of India: a Missiological study Rev Joel Thattupurakal Mathai BTh, BD, MTh 0000-0001-6197-8748 Thesis submitted for the degree Philosophiae Doctor in Missiology at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University in co-operation with Greenwich School of Theology Promoter: Dr TG Curtis Co-Promoter: Dr JJF Kruger April 2017 Abstract Conversion to Christianity has become a very controversial issue in the current religious and political debate in India. This is due to the foreign image of the church and to its past colonial nexus. In addition, the evangelistic effort of different church traditions based on particular view of conversion, which is the product of its different historical periods shaped by peculiar constellation of events and creeds and therefore not absolute- has become a stumbling block to the church‘s mission as one view of conversion is argued against the another view of conversion in an attempt to show what constitutes real conversion. This results in competitions, cultural obliteration and kaum (closed) mentality of the church. Therefore, the purpose of the dissertation is to show a common biblical understanding of conversion which could serve as a basis for the discourse on the nature of the Indian church and its place in society, as well as the renewal of church life in contemporary India by taking into consideration the missiological challenges (religious pluralism, contextualization, syncretism and cultural challenges) that the church in India is facing in the context of conversion. The dissertation arrives at a theological understanding of conversion in the Indian context and its discussion includes: the multiple religious belonging of Hindu Christians; the dual identity of Hindu Christians; the meaning of baptism and the issue of church membership in Indian context.

  • Method of Legitimization of the Kingdom of Sambalpur
    1 MEDIEVAL ORISSA: METHOD OF LEGITIMIZATION OF THE KINGDOM OF SAMBALPUR Brundabana Mishra Research Scholar CHS/SSS/JNU 143(O) Brahmaputra Hostel New Delhi-110067 09868096337 [email protected] Abstract This paper has an attempt to find out the different method which adopted by the Chauhan ruler of western Orissa in the 16 th and 17 th centuries in order to legitimatize their ruled over the Sambalpur. The political legitimacy of the Chauhan of Western Orissa did not come overnight and they struggled hard to legitimize their political power. Unlike the other medieval rulers of Orissa, the Chauhan did not seek the blessing of any external authority for legitimacy rather; they represented themselves as the sources of legitimacy for their feudatories. They brought their legitimacy through the process of assimilation with the tribal flock, by donating land to Brahman, by associating religion in the state policy and by adopting local tribal god and goddess as their tutelary divinity. They patronized both the tribal and non tribal pantheons to gain military help, economic support and political loyalty from their subject. Among the different methods which the Chauhan of Sambalpur adopted to legitimize their authority over Sambalpur the author of the article has tried to find out the role of fort, capital not in the monetary sense but in the sense of state headquarter and different God and Goddess . To arrive at a definite historical conclusion how the Chauhan legitimatize their power over Sambalpur the author of the article consulted the only contemporary as well as authentic document of sixteenth century, ‘Kosalananda Kavyam’, the eighteen century work ‘Jaya Chandrika’ written in Lariya by Prahallad Dubey, the court poet of Sarangarh and other vernacular sources which are used adequately.

Preface Under the comprehensiYe project entitled 'Historical Statistics of India - First Phase' the ICSSR approyed a scheme aimed at building up a historical series of irriga• tion statistics wae submitted by the Institute in late 1979. Broadly, three kinds of such aeries were eou~ht to be built up 1 as proposed in the scheme. (a) ProYince-wise and district-wise areas irrigated (Cl890-1946/47) under goYern- ment canale 1 priYate canals 1 tanks 1 wells and other sources. (b) ProYince-wise and district-wise areas or crops irrigated (1920·1946/47) under rice 1 wheat 1 barley1 maise 1 jowar and other serials and non-food crops1 and (c) Financial results of irrigation projects. The first two 1 namely (a) and (b) of the aboYeo haye been completed. The third was subsequently dropped as (i) on maturer retlections1 it was feared that it would develop into a major research work by itself inYolYing considerable reading, computation and analysis. The deci­ sion was taken by the Project Director in consultation with the research worker, an economic historian and the initial formulator of the echeoe. He also left the 2 Institute subsequently; (ii) part (c) ot the scheme could not be fitted into or presented aa a 'aeriea' tor both the teaching community and the researchers in the field et ;" India as originally concaiyed by the Project Director and (iii) the principal objectiye ot historical statistics, by definition.

S.OMALLEY OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE FELLOW OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE Cambridge: at the University Press 1917 EDITOR'S PREFACE N 1910, when I was asked by the Cambridge University I Press to suggest a suitable sub-division of the Indian Empire into natural geographical units for treatment in separate volumes, J. was embarrassed by the fact that the Province of Bengal, as it had been known for many years before 1905, was then restricted, for administrative con­ venience, to the western three-quarters of the old province, the eastern districts having been lumped with Assam to form the Lieut.-Governorship of Eastern Bengal and Assam. To find an author who could give, in true per­ spective and as the result of personal intimacy an outline sketch of two such dissimilar units as old Bengal and Assam seemed to be impossible; and thus it was decided, in spite of the obvious disadvantages, especially in nomen­ clature, to cut off Assam, which differed so greatly from the rest of the new province of Eastern Bengal, leaving to the ingenuity of the author the problem of designing for the residual area a geographical name that was sufficiently expressive without clashing with the new official nomenclature.
