Jose Kuruvachira – “Inculturation of the salesian charism in India” in “Sviluppo del carisma di Don Bosco fino alla metà del secolo XX. Atti del Congresso internazionale di Storia Salesiana Roma, 19-23 novembre 2014”
Inculturation of the Salesian charism in India implies, making Don Bosco’s charism firmly rooted in Indian culture so that it acquires a truly Indian identity. It has been argued that the case of India is one of the amazing success stories of inculturation of Don Bosco’s charism in the history of the Salesian congregation. The pioneer groups of Salesians who came to India faithfully and creatively implanted and inculturated thè Salesian charism in their “new fatherland”, taking into consideration its religious, social, politicai, economie and cultural ethos and contexts.
