| Summary: | Three periods of twentieth-century Protestant evangelistic activity related to high caste Hindus are identified, roughly dividing the century into thirds. Fulfillment theology dominates the first, but proves inadequate to convince Hindus or to survive shifting trends in Christian thought. The second has various movements and personalities, most notably R. C. Das, but none are lasting nor particularly fruitful. In the third period little activity is present; a few leaders are identified and striking trends from within Hindu society are noted and suggested as potentially prophetic of twenty-first century developments. |
