Introduction Indian Christian Theology is an outcome of a major awakening in socio-political and religious systems in India. The 19th century was a crucial period in India’s cultural history with the emergence of Neo-Hindu movements in dialogue with western culture and Christianity. Thus, renascent Hinduism and Hindu leaders of the Indian renaissance began grappling with Christ, Christianity and western culture.
