“The History of the Catholic Missions in Norh-Eastern India” is a iimely and welcome addition to the annals of the Catholic Church in India… The story is told with exactness and precision,sober realism, vivid detail and occasional bursts of feeling. It is a comprehensive work which gives a complete and very readable account of “the most difficult mission in India”.The original German narrative history of the Assam Mission (Im Stromtal des Brahmaputra) by Mar.C Becker, published in 1923 (re-edited in 1927), is based on personal and first-hand experiences lived through many long years of dedicated missionary work in Assam. The historical information is drawn from the archives in Rome, Milan and various other sources and contemporary journals.The first German Salvatorians missionaries came to Assam (present Northeast India) in 1890. They had to leave in the wake of the First World War. They could not return after the War in spite of several attempts. Ultimately, the Salesians of Don Bosco inherited the mission field of Assam.The work of translation began in 1978 and was completed with great devotion and dedication by G. Stadler SDB and S.
Karotemprel SDB.”Political and social conditions do not always contribute to the external success of the work of the messengers of the Gospel .The edifice of the Church of Christ is built up through slow and toilsome work, gradually adding stone upon stone. These pages will surely give the reader a glance and an insight into the life of a Catholic missionary, his sacrifices and toils, his disappointments and hopes, his trials and setbacks and bring the reader closer to him.” May these humble pages be a lasting memorial to the courageous missionaries- the Priests, the Brothers and the Sisters of the Assam Mission-wha strove to extend the kingdom of Christ in a world culturally and geographically so distant and different from theirs.”
