Description

About The Book: This book contain The excerpt from "Catholic Missions in Southern India to 1865" discusses the vastness of the British Empire and its possession of the peninsula of Hindostan, which is home to a population of at least 150 million people. The diverse population of India is unified by the influence of the Brahminical religion, which is prevalent throughout the continent. The earliest Christian writers and traditions indicate that St. Thomas the Apostle preached in India, and this is supported by the discovery of artifacts such as a copper plate engraved with half-obliterated letters, a bronze cross, and a white marble slab with a carved cross and dove found in various parts of the country. These discoveries attest to the existence of Christianity in India dating back to ancient times.
