Title: South Indian Christians in the pre-colonial period
Abstract: The next four chapters will focus on south India's large and varied Christian populations, beginning with the elite Malayalam-speaking St Thomas Christians of the Malabar coast (now the state of Kerala). As for the region's Muslim groups, the questions to be asked here are, first, how did the various Christian populations come to be established in the south; second, what was their relationship to the culture and society which surrounded them, and third, how were they affected by economic change and by shifts in state power in the pre-colonial and colonial periods?
