The Betrayal of the Western Church

Making the claims of us 'Indian Christians' seem like myths we created out of active imaginations says a lot about how the west needs to prove it's legitimacy and perpetrate the myth that it converted us barbarians. This denial strengthens the right wing which likes to see us as the illegitimate children left behind by colonial rule, which thinks of our existence is wrong. Then the western church wonders why we dont want to be a part of it. When our own family betrays us it is hard to expect any charity from strangers.
