Question
Explain Roberto de Nobili’s missionary activities in India under the following headline:
His method of Adaptation
Solution
He used an altogether different method to preach Christianity in India. He decided to adapt himself to the local situation, in order to be able to deal with it successfully, especially by altering his way of life.
He dressed like a Hindu ascetic (Sanyasi). He adopted also the Indian Sanyasi custom to have his head shaved and to keep only a small bunch of hair at the base. He used to wear a white dhoti and used wooden sandals as footwear.
