Abstract
The major Christian missions in India. Drawing their strength and impetus from the religious awakening all over the world during 19th century, these denominations found economically backward, socially downtrodden and religiously deprived community in India for their work. Not losing a single opportunity, they concentrated on their goals. They were encouraged even astonished by the stunning and surprising results that their work accomplished in these areas. At present Christians constitute four percent of total population of Andhra Pradesh. We compared with results of many of the others areas in India this figure is more striking. Social awakening is connected with mobilization and modernization of the society in all means. In the era of modernization liberty, fraternity and equality are given the importance. This awakening emerges in gradual and steady process in all the human societies. The social consciousness awakening and political identity in India gradually emerged as a continuation of the politico-social movements that took place in India owing to the impact of western political thoughts and growth of English education. As a prelude to the social awakening, the spread of political consciousness worked as a contributory factor. The introduction of western education, judicial system and administrative measures and reorganization paved the way for the rise of a new middle class initially this group consolidated itself into political associations in case based society like India. As time went on, the caste-Hindus who formed a pre-dominant social group in the state along with the de-pressed section worked against the brahminocracy. It resulted in the rise and growth of non-Brahmin movement. Though the two movements forged a head on parallel line, which ignited the people towards pro-new trends, which ignited the people towards pro-gressive thinking.
