Christians are a relatively small denominstion in India. They have, however, played a major role in the development of the Indian education system. The Union Christian College was founded in Aluva (Kerala, southern India) in 1921 as a Centre of Christian Higher Education and as a venture in inter-denominational cooperation among the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church, the Church of South India and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church. This is a class photo taken in 1941, during World War II but before the Japsanese enteed the War. Usually the Indian school uniforms are western-style. Here we can see that the boys are wearing lungi which are very common in Kerala.
