HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN His methods and presentations were opposed by several Catholic and Protestant leaders more out of fear of syncretization. However after thourough enquiry, the Pope supported the attempts. He was followed in this by Swami Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, who was converted to Catholicism. an Indian Brahmin who Swami Brahmabandhab Upadhyay "Brahmabandhav’s theology has two aspects of his methodology. a) As it comes clearly in his biography, his whole theological thinking was motivated by his very genuine concern for indigenous expression of Christian faith and life, as Russell Chandran properly evaluates. Russel Chandran says that there are four aspects in which this indigenisation comes to the fore: (1) Integration of the social structure of India into Christian way of life; (2) The establishment of an Indian Christian monastic order; (3) The employment of Vedanta for the expression of Christian theology; and (4) The recognition of the Vedas as the Indian Old Testament. Scholars are divided as to whether Brahmabandhav took to the Vedas or the Vedantic philosophy b) Brahmabandhav also had a very concrete method as how this indigenisation of Christian message in India should take place. He says it is a three-fold task: First to eradicate from the minds of the Indian people the erroneous and mischievous doctrines (pantheism and transmigration); Secondly, to lay the basis of Theism by the help of the Vedas; and Thirdly, to build Christianity on that foundation." http://www.ichenetwork.net/CTIP_3.pdf 256
