Thomas Anchukandam – “Don Bosco” in northeast India – A name synonumous with change and societal transformation through education and skill-training” in “Percezione della figura di don Bosco all’esterno dell’Opera Salesiana dal 1879 al 1965”

The present paper, after having presented the Northeastern region of India with its various challenges, and indicating the missionary efforts in the region before the coming of the Salesians will proceed to assert that the name “Don Bosco” was from the very beginning associated with change and societal transformation realized through education and that it continues to be regarded as such to this day.

Il presente documento, dopo aver presentato la regione nord-orientale dell’India con le sue diverse sfide, e indicando l’impegno missionario nella regione prima dell’arrivo dei Salesiani, procederà ad affermare che il nome “Don Bosco” era sin dall’inizio associato al cambiamento e alla trasformazione della società realizzata attraverso l’istruzione e che ciò continua ad essere considerato tale fino ad oggi.
