Keywords:
church cultur, protestant, missionAbstract
The Tamil Society has been influenced by the presence of Christian Churches in Tamil Nadu. The Protestant mission had played a vital role in transforming the lifestyle of the poor and downtrodden people of Tiruchirapalli, Thanjavur, and Nagapattinamby imparting education, catering to their medical needs, and other social service programs apart from teaching the Gospel of Jesus.Even though it was a religious institution, its contribution to society based on its faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ is immense. It is also known that the early missionaries who associated with the origin of this church participated actively in the course of the history of Tiruchirapalli, Thanjavur, and Nagapattinam districts also prompted the scholar to embark on this study.The administration of Thanjavur was given over to the English fully under the Treaty of 1799. The ruler of the Thanjavur was allowed to retain the fort of Thanjavur only with limited power of administration. When the ruler died in 1841 without an heir, the Thanjavur fort was also annexed by the British and it became part of the then Madras, Thanjavur remained under the British until 1947 when India attained freedom.
