Not everyone feels that way, at the end of the day Christians in India may feel special because they are "minority".
I have heard this from an India Christian family settled in Europe, their "christian identity" is not significant and they face all the 'othering' in their churches.
They were considering moving back to their Hindu roots as it gave them some identity.
As for the Christian benevolence, they lost thousands of ships before they found their way to a wealthy India. And when they left India was so impoverished that Indians were shipped off to remote plantations to "compensate" the white plantation owners after the slavery abolition.
The church encroached upon and accumulated so much land and wealth during the colonial era that they have not returned back to the communities or government and in many cases temple lands are under the control of the church.
