This book showcases Indian cultural expressions, including family life, rituals, and social ethos and liturgical traditions. The author critiqued and navigated the imposition of Latin norms, especially during the colonial period, striving to preserve indigenous traditions. Describes Syro‑Malabar Church as a particular church within the universal Catholic Church, embodying unity in diversity. Developed local canonical traditions blending East Syriac and Roman elements, asserting autonomy within the Catholic communion also is stated in the book.
