India memiliki sejarah yang panjang dan beragam terkait pemikiran dan praksis ekoteologis, dan tulisan ini berupaya untuk mengidentifikasi dan membahas keragaman trajektori ekoteologi-ekoteologi dari India tersebut. Lebih jauh lagi, tulisan ini juga memperlihatkan berbagai filosofi ekologis dan gerakan-gerakan keadilan lingkungan dari India serta memeriksa dampak mereka terhadap politik gerakan-gerakan ekoteologi India. Tulisan akan ditutup dengan sebuah pertanyaan kritis atas gerakan ekoteologi arus utama di India dan sebuah tawaran re-visi akan imaginasi dan praksis ekoteologi yang dibentuk oleh perspektif-perspektif subaltern dan Indigenous.
