Summary/Abstract: Christianization of India, started in the early centuries of Christian history, is still an ongoing process. The use of Indian philosophy, theology, cultural and religious symbols in Christian theological context has become, after centuries of European imposition, normative in almost all Christian denominations that have foothold in India. The author reviews some of more interesting examples of Christian inculturation in India from recent history, thus making the fruits of Indian mission familiar to Serbian theological thought.
