Description
Résumé:Neo-Hinduism emerged as a revitalization movement in India's encounter with the West. In recent years it has become increasingly aggressive. One branch has stressed Hindu spirituality and has sent missionaries to evangelize the world. The other has become political, seeking to establish Hindutva, a Hindu nation, and to persecute Christians as followers of a foreign religion. Around the world Indian immigrants have established Hindu communities and spread their faith. This resurgence of Hinduism as an active formal religion challenges Christians to rethink their mission to Hindus and the Hindu world.
