Indian Christian theology in not theologizing European Church Doctrines by Indian converts, rather it is squarely rational refutation of the Western Church Doctrines and challenging Domatic Theology wheather Pauline, Ecceciastical, or Ecumenical missionary statements.
The purpose of Indian Christian Theology is not to deny the goodness of human Jesus of Nazareth but to incorporate it with its real virtue as a spiritual force within humanity and as unique divinity having certain contributions for understanding of spirituality, rationally synchronized with the Indian Dharmic Tradition.
The background
The better truth is Bharat which is called by the westerners as ‘India’ since the visit of Alexander to the Indian subcontinent for political purpose, recognized then as living vibrating Hindu civilization with its academicians since time immemorial. Bharatiya Society was as observed by Megastenis as well construed, structured with its unique military might, economic prosperity, superb linguistic capability, and megalithic Vedic spiritual understanding.
Even before Megasthenis, Pliny had knowledge about Jambu dwipa– Bharat Barsha-Inda with its attributes. Athenian scholars had knowledge that Herculis had similarities with Lord Shiva and their wine god is the same wine god worshiped in India.
Indian Scholars expressed their doubt on the Historical Jesus due to lack of evidence and therefore Dedimus the Thomas could not be accepted as ever visited India at any point in time after the death of Jesus. But certain stories are available in India and now abroad through the work of a Russian historian and later by the works of several Western Theologians, that Jesus was a man from Israel visited India and became a Buddhist monk and lived in a Tibetian Monastery, went back to Jerusalem and try to mold certain practice of Judaism via Temple culture in the format of Buddha the Father, Jesus the Son of Man as disciple of father and Buddhist Sangha as newly conceived Church. The pattern of Discipleship was conceived around the Buddhist concept of Discipleship, where Vante Anand and Maha Kashyap, were prominent Missionaries. Then the Buddhist[200-150BCE] had established a link from Chia up to downtown Egypt via the city of Mecca through Silkrout. Buddhist doctrine was known to Romans as well as Ezra – Nehemia powered Jews Temple Establishment. Messianic aspiration was there with slogunning that in near future the jews lord shall restore the promised land to the Jews[from Roman colonialism]. Roman administration was hugely benefitted from Temple tax, therefore, if one section of jews elitists if captured the Temple and ruled it, they had no problem. So the dispensation of Jews- Elite Herodians – Romas, troika suppose to be there and any revolutionist with Buddhist ideas can not be tolerated. Or in the alternative Messianic Mehdi revolution could have been appreciated, had it based on Jews Halaka tradition. Jesus was a Buddhist Nazanin with a long hairstyle with modest character, with a yogic glance [ like Nagarjuna] with unusual compassion for commoners. Protest and teaching of Jesus were discredited, violently retaliated and capitally punished ‘hanging from a tree’.
