ABSTRACT
This chapter describes that the seventieth anniversary of one male migrant from Kerala is taken as a framework to provide some insights into the lives and experiences of Indian' Christians in Germany. Christians from Kerala form the largest part of Indian' Christians in Germany, as in the 1960s and 1970s young female nurses were recruited there by Catholic institutions. Since then, a Malayalee community' has developed in Germany, and the anniversary was one of many meeting points of them. The chapter uses the tools of social and cultural anthropology to draw a picture of Indian' Christians in Germany. Besides the history of migration to Germany, it describes different strategies of the migrants to deal with experiences of racism and othering there. The chapter models from the empirical material a picture which is arbitrary, biased and at the same time typical. It is a tool to gain more insights into the lives of Indian' Christians in Germany.
