In the context of increasing violence against religious minorities of India, particularly the Dalit and Adivasi Christians by the adherents of Hindutva, this dissertation examines a relevant model of mission for the Indian Church. The research explores the history of modern India to identify the reasons behind the religious polarization. The policies of Anglicization through Western culture, Christianization through Western education and introducing census has created a drastic effect on the people of India. The study shows how the policies have polarized different religious groups and stimulated them to organize themselves to safeguard their community identity and interests, thus causing divisions. Concurrently the research shows how these policies have impacted the Dalit and Adivasi communities. The mass conversions to Christian faith have put them at loggerheads with the caste Hindus. The gulf among the Hindus, Muslims and Christians was further widened by the game of politics of numbers. To secure and retain political power the extremists groups created antagonism against the others, building walls of separations.
