India? is the third studio album by the band Suns of Arqa, recorded and released in 1984 by Rocksteady Records. The album was produced by Suns of Arqa founder Michael Wadada. It is their fourth album overall when including their 1983 live album with Prince Far I, and this is indicated subtly on the spine with the letters "Vol IV". The spine also reads "Such big ears, but still you can't see".
'India?' is a radical departure from the style of the previous two albums Revenge of the Mozabites and Wadada Magic. As the title suggests, this album has a strong Indian feel to its arrangements and instrumentation. It has not been released on CD, however three of the five tracks have found their way onto other Suns of Arqa CD releases.
Track A1 'Give Love' which features Ras Michael appears on the 1991 compilation CD 'Land of a Thousand Churches', and tracks A3/B2 (Kalashree/Vairabi) both appear on the 1992 CD Kokoromochi.
The sleevenotes for this LP include thank-yous to Adrian Sherwood, Style Scott, Gadgi, Martin Hannett, Chris Nagle and Kevin Metcalf.
India (Syriac: Beth Hindaye) was an ecclesiastical province of the Church of the East, from the seventh to the sixteenth century. The Malabar Coast of India had long been home to a thriving East Syrian (Nestorian) Christian community, known as the St. Thomas Christians. The community traces its origins to the evangelical activity of Thomas the Apostle in the 1st century. The Indian Christian community were initially part of the metropolitan province of Fars, but were detached from that province in the 7th century, and again in the 8th, and given their own metropolitan bishop.
Due to the distance between India and the seat of the Patriarch of the Church of the East, communication with the church's heartland was often spotty, and the province was frequently without a bishop. As such, the Indian church was largely autonomous in operation, though the authority of the Patriarch was always respected. In the 16th century, the Portuguese arrived in India and tried to bring the community under the authority of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. The Portuguese ascendancy was formalised at the Synod of Diamper in 1599, which effectively abolished the historic Nestorian metropolitan province of India. Angamaly, the former seat of the Nestorian metropolitans, was downgraded to a suffragan diocese of the Latin Archdiocese of Goa.
How Christianity really came to India (It wasn't Thomas) - Donald Fairbairn
When did Christianity arrive in India? There are three main possibilities:
1. The Apostle Thomas brought the gospel to India in the middle of the first century.
2. Pantaenus, a Jewish Christian philosopher from Alexandria, arrived in India in the second century and preached the Gospel to higher classes.
3. A large group of Persian Christians fled the Great Persecution in the fourth century. They traveled to India and brought Christianity with them. This is the version most accepted by historians.

When did Christianity come to India? | The story of St. Thomas | St. Thomas Basilica, Chennai
When did Christianity reach India? And did you ever wonder who brought it here first? The answers may surprise you. It is commonly believed that Christianity came to India with St. Thomas as early as 52 CE. He is said to have landed in Kerala and the religion took root there. He then walked across to Mylapore in present-day Chennai, spoke of a new God in a new land, and left his footprints on the sands of time.
There are many fascinating stories behind how the religion grew, spread and evolved into the many different denominations you see spread across India today.

How Christianity Came to China - Donald Fairbairn
Before 1623, nobody knew how Christianity got to China. Earlier, Franciscan missionaries arrived in China, but they found Christian churches already there.
That all changed in 1623.
In that year, a 9-foot monument was discovered that had both Chinese characters and Syriac letters on it. The monument told the story of a Persian missionary named Alopen who arrived in China during the Tang dynasty, in the year 635.
After that, Christianity flourished for a couple hundred years before dwindling and nearly disappearing in the tenth century, though remnants remain—and remain to this day.

The unique story of Jesus, Saint Thomas his Apostle, and how the Dharma of India became part of Saint Thomas Christianity
https://ocoy.org/read-our-books/introduction-to-the-christ-of-india/
“Original Christianity” is the teaching of both Jesus of Nazareth and his Apostle Saint Thomas in India. Although it was new to the Mediterranean world, it was really the classical, traditional teachings of the ancient rishis of India that even today comprise Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Dharma, that goes far beyond religion into realization.
In The Christ of India Abbot George Burke presents what those ancient teachings are, as well as the growing evidence that Jesus spent much of his “Lost Years” in India and Tibet. This is also the story of how the original teachings of Jesus and Saint Thomas thrived in India for centuries before the coming of the European colonialists.
The Christ of India: The Story of Original Christianity includes the following:
• The Christ of India, about the Essene roots of Jesus and the early Christians; the spiritual training of Jesus; The “lost years” of Jesus, with much information never before gathered together in one place; Jesus’ return to the West, and how his teachings were misunderstood; Jesus return to India after his resurrection; and much more.
• The Apostle of India, about how Jesus’ apostle Saint Thomas went to India, and how the Christianity which grew up in India had a totally unique character compared to elsewhere in the world; the history of Saint Thomas Christianity in India and how it was persecuted by the colonialists.
• The Beliefs of Original Christianity
• Special Appendix 1: Indian Masters Who Considered Jesus One of Them. Stories of masters who had visions of Jesus, and those who researched Jesus’ time in India, including Sri Ramakrishna, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda and others
• Special Appendix 2: The Yoga of the Nath Yogis and Jesus

When did Christianity reach India? And did you ever wonder who brought it here first? The answers may surprise you. It is commonly believed that Christianity came to India with St. Thomas as early as 52 CE. He is said to have landed in Kerala and the religion took root there. He then walked across to Mylapore in present-day Chennai, spoke of a new God in a new land, and left his footprints on the sands of time.
There are many fascinating stories behind how the religion grew, spread and evolved into the many different denominations you see spread across India today. This short video takes you to the tomb of St. Thomas, at Santhome Basilica in Chennai. And it takes you through the story of the arrival of Christianity in India. Did you know that the Thomas Christians of Kerala are considered one among the oldest followers of Christianity in the world? Here’s the story of the beginnings of Christianity in India.

Before 1623, nobody knew how Christianity got to China. Earlier, Franciscan missionaries arrived in China, but they found Christian churches already there.
That all changed in 1623.
In that year, a 9-foot monument was discovered that had both Chinese characters and Syriac letters on it. The monument told the story of a Persian missionary named Alopen who arrived in China during the Tang dynasty, in the year 635.
After that, Christianity flourished for a couple hundred years before dwindling and nearly disappearing in the tenth century, though remnants remain—and remain to this day.

The unique story of Jesus, Saint Thomas his Apostle, and how the Dharma of India became part of Saint Thomas Christianity
https://ocoy.org/read-our-books/introduction-to-the-christ-of-india/
“Original Christianity” is the teaching of both Jesus of Nazareth and his Apostle Saint Thomas in India. Although it was new to the Mediterranean world, it was really the classical, traditional teachings of the ancient rishis of India that even today comprise Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Dharma, that goes far beyond religion into realization.
In The Christ of India Abbot George Burke presents what those ancient teachings are, as well as the growing evidence that Jesus spent much of his “Lost Years” in India and Tibet. This is also the story of how the original teachings of Jesus and Saint Thomas thrived in India for centuries before the coming of the European colonialists.
The Christ of India: The Story of Original Christianity includes the following:
• The Christ of India, about the Essene roots of Jesus and the early Christians; the spiritual training of Jesus; The “lost years” of Jesus, with much information never before gathered together in one place; Jesus’ return to the West, and how his teachings were misunderstood; Jesus return to India after his resurrection; and much more.
• The Apostle of India, about how Jesus’ apostle Saint Thomas went to India, and how the Christianity which grew up in India had a totally unique character compared to elsewhere in the world; the history of Saint Thomas Christianity in India and how it was persecuted by the colonialists.
• The Beliefs of Original Christianity
• Special Appendix 1: Indian Masters Who Considered Jesus One of Them. Stories of masters who had visions of Jesus, and those who researched Jesus’ time in India, including Sri Ramakrishna, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda and others
• Special Appendix 2: The Yoga of the Nath Yogis and Jesus

It has not changed at all when the message went west, it also went east
The same Gospel preached in the Western countries is the same preached in the Eastern.

#WATCH: "There is something about ancient civilizations...both India and China...The Christians did not convert [them]."
During his last National Day Rally speech in 1990, Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founding prime minister, talked about how
Christianity would not be successful in converting Singapore's society — just how it failed to do so in countries like India and China.

Christianity continued to thrive during and long after the Arab Conquests of the seventh and eighth centuries—even if it came with political and social disadvantages.
