This project/dissertation studies the Dalit movement in India and the evangelism and mission of the Adventist Church. The Dalit are a typical example of the unique system of oppression in India in which socio-culturally ordained fixed groups have collectively remained in a deprived position for ages. The Dalit movement corrects the tendencies to generalize or objectify the oppressed or poor and reveals the concrete subjectivity of the diverse sections of the oppressed, their experiences, histories and aspirations. Adventist theology (evangelism) has failed to take account of the suffering and hopes of Dalits, who form the majority of Indian Christians. Its approach of primarily responding to the health and educational needs has not helped the Dalit aspiration in Tamil Nadu, India. Hence the need for a religion that is indigenous in character.
