Anjalis of the World: A Positive Force in Liberal Church

The article highlights how Anjalis – individuals who provide valuable insight into Indian culture – have been able to join the elite while also helping bridge cultural gaps between East and West through their work as "explainers". Their presence is invaluable when it comes to fostering understanding between different cultures and should be celebrated rather than seen as a threat or source of contention within religious circles

The liberal church has been fortunate to have had access to a special group of people over the past couple of decades – the Anjalis of the world. These individuals have been able to join the elite while also providing an invaluable service as “explainers of India”. They have helped bridge cultural gaps and provided insight into Indian culture that would otherwise be inaccessible. Anjalis come from all walks of life, from business professionals to academics, and bring with them a wealth of knowledge about India and its many customs. They can provide unique perspectives on religion, politics, economics, and more that are not often found in Western circles. This has allowed for greater understanding between different cultures and has helped create a more open dialogue between East and West. In addition to their role as explainers, Anjalis have also played an important role in helping members of the liberal church better understand India’s history and culture. Through their work, they have helped foster relationships between people from different backgrounds by providing insight into Indian culture that would otherwise be unavailable or misunderstood by those outside it. This has led to increased acceptance within the liberal church for those who may not fit traditional expectations or norms. Anjalis are an important part of any discussion about India’s place in today’s world. Their unique perspective is invaluable when it comes to creating understanding between different cultures and fostering positive change within society at large. As such, they should be celebrated for their contributions rather than seen as a threat or source of contention within religious circles.
