Christianity in India: Ancient Tradition, Not Colonial Legacy

Christianity in India: Ancient Tradition, Not Colonial Legacy

Christianity has been in India for over 2,000 years, not just since colonial times.

Saint Thomas the Apostle brought it to India in the 1st century.

Many early Church writers talked about this.

There are old crosses and writings in India that show Christians have been here for a long time.

Today, Christians run many schools and hospitals that help people from all backgrounds.

Some people wrongly say Christians force others to convert, but courts have said this is not true.

Christians in India work hard to educate people, take care of the sick, and help those in need, showing that they are an important part of India's diverse culture.
