    The largest number of Indian Christians are Roman Catholics (RC). It should be remembered that the small Eastern churches such as Syro-Malabar/Malankara are small churches affiliated to the Roman Catholic Church. They are not RC. Out of the 200 dioceses in India, 160 are Roman Catholic dioceses. There are 20 million Roman Catholics in India. Of these, 2.0 millions are in Kerala. It should also be remembered that there are only 4.0 million Syro-Malabar Christians in the world. These Syro-Malabar people are only from Kerala, the whole world is Roman Catholic. There is no scientific or historical evidences other than fabricated evidences and mythical teaching to prove St Thomas “expidition” after Jesus’s ascension in AD 33. At least learn Vasco da Gama’s history.
    These fictional theory is very good for making huge money from poor people.
