If it weren't for the Christians, India would still be a huge mass of ignorance.

That's not true. There are a lot of Christian-run schools. But they are nowhere near the number of public schools/ private, secular schools. And that 'mass of ignorance' remark is condescending, and by itself mirrors your own lack of information about schooling in India.

Besides, most of the graduate-level and advanced studies colleges are run by Indians who also happen to be Hindus (not to be confused with Hindu colleges).

If it weren't for Christians starting a schooling system in India, the limits of education would still be the limits of the Brahmin caste.

I have plenty of information on Indian schools, as I have taught in two of them in Delhi - one Christian one and one in a Jughi Slum.
