In this book, Dr. Manohar James explores how Hindu intolerance has contributed to anti-Christian propaganda over the centuries, how such intolerance has informed the conclusions of the Niyogi Committee Report, and how the Report's ongoing publications, redactions and recessions have intensified anti-Christian rhetoric in India over the last six decades.
"James has provided an invaluable resource for the church and, indeed, the larger Indian society, through his careful study of the 1956 Niyogi Committee Report. Manohar insightfully demonstrates that this nearly one-thousand-page report continues to provide the foundation and frame for modern Indian consciousness concerning such vital themes such as 'conversion, ' 'Christian identity, ' 'Hindu nationalism, ' 'the church, ' and 'communalism.' In short, contemporary Indian attitudes toward Christianity, coupled with the vital resurgence of the RSS and related organizations, cannot be fully understood without understanding the oversized influence of the Niyogi report on the rise of how modern-day Hindi nationalism is understood in contemporary India."–Timothy C.
