The history of Nepal's Christianization teaches us that missionaries had long prepared the actual rise of their religion in this country. Based on her observations from the Ankhu Khola Valley, the author also shows that the Tamang were predisposed to religious change, sometimes for political reasons. Their Christianization is here approached relation to local powers, political and religious. The village's political authority appears to be determinant in spread of conversions. However, the converts also represent an important political element, capable of questioning the legitimacy of some local authorities. In response, the reaction of Buddhists appears as a reconquest of these local powers, but at the same time seems to have a broader political meaning
