The Zo Philosophy and the Christian Values

Zomi and Christianity

It is often assumed and asserted that the Zo people, currently scattered within the present political maps of India, Burma and Bangladesh embraced Christianity en masse in less than half a century essentially due to the fact that they were backward in every aspect including intellectually and spiritually and have nothing better to choose. This article argues that this assumption may not be fully correct for the simple reason that these people did have own their philosophy or ideas of God, life ,death, life after
death and some highly valued social norms some of which are quiet akin to Christian values and teachings. Hence the higher level of acceptability of
Christianity to the people.
