Which act gave permission to start Christian school in India
Answers
There are about 30 million Christians in India. Making up roughly three percent of the population, they make up the third largest religious group in India after Hindus and Muslims. The Indian Christian community includes about 17 million Catholics and 11 million Protestants.
Many Christians are tribals or members of lower castes such as the Dalits (Untouchables). Many Christians live in the so called "tribal belt," which extends across the center of India from Pakistan in the west to Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east. Mizoram, India's only predominately Christian state, is in northwest India.
Christianity in some places has been adapted to Indian beliefs and concepts of spirituality. At Christian ashrams, priests wear Indian dress and engage in Hindu style rituals. Mass begins with the chants of "om," the sacred sound of the Vedas. Hindu prasad (consecrated fruits and sweetmeats) are consumed at communion. Some groups sing devotional songs that praise Jesus and Krishna and eat strictly vegetarian meals.
In some places Christians have more influence than their numbers would suggest because they have traditionally been more educated than the general population. Indian Christians tend to be urbanized and hold Western professions such as teachers, nurses bank clerks and civil servants.
