The book “The North East India” by Archbishop Stephen Ferrando gives the story of the Salesian Missions in India from 1936-1974 in palatable language and uninterrupted clarity. The author of this book is not a scholar, but a much spoken and revered person among the missionaries of today. In the foreword he speaks of himself as an ‘actor in the most beautiful missionary dramas in the India subcontinent’. The book narrates about the life of the earlier missionaries in the Northeast, their indomitable spirit and unflagging zeal for souls.
