So What is This About?

Prof. Menachery warmly greets all the viewers

Enquiries come, often, from different parts of India and especially from other countries where English is spoken seeking information on personal and professional activities and biographical details regarding Prof. George Menachery. Answering these phone, e-mail, and snail mail requests was found to be beyond the capacity of the scant staff working with him and as a panacea it was suggested some time ago to have a personal site, which was hosted two years back. But it is only now that some information could be uploaded. Hope it will be possible to fill out the various pages gradually, as and when time permits

The website www.indianchristianity.com provides information and research assistance for topics dealing with India in particular and South Asia in general. It provides information to research scholars and guides via E-Mail, air mail post and through this world wide Website. The Editor of the St. Thomas Christian Encyclopedia of India (ISBN 818713206X, Lib. Cong. Cat. Card. No. 73-905568 ) and the Indian Church History Classics (ISBN 81-87133-04-X, Lib. Cong. Cat. Card.

Detective stories and Parippu Vada are major weaknesses.
