This academic inquiry explores the relationship between German Christian missionaries and the British government in India before and after World War I, highlighting the adverse effects of the German Cruiser SMS Emden's attack on the Madras Presidency. It examines the actions of a former soldier posing as a missionary and the involvement of the German military, Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient (NfO), and Hindu revolutionaries in inciting unrest to undermine the British economy and reputation. The study reveals how opposing ideologies—the German Christian government, German missionaries in NfO, and Indian revolutionaries—collaborated on a common agenda, manipulating scripture to fuel nationalistic fervor. It also details the hardships faced by separated missionary families, including deportation, challenging voyages, and the experiences of missionaries as Prisoners of War (POW). The research employs a World War I historiographical approach, a collective biographical approach, and an entanglement approach, utilizing archived and published sources in English, German, and Tamil. Key archives include the Political Archives of the Foreign Office in Berlin, the Franckesche Foundations in Halle, and various institutions in India, which provided insights into the correspondence between the Intelligence Service for the Orient and Indian revolutionaries, as well as documentation from the Indian Mission during the war.
