CHRISTIANITY & JUDAISM

India has around 27 million Christians. There have been Christian communities in Kerala since the coming of Christianity to Europe (St Thomas the Apostle is supposed to have arrived here in 52 AD). The Portuguese, who unlike the English were as enthusiastic about spreading their brand of Christianity as making money from trade, left a large Christian community in Goa. Generally, however, Christianity has not been greatly  a successful in India, if success is counted in number of converts. The first round of Indian converts to Christianity were generally those from the ruling classes, and  they were mainly from the lower castes. There are, however, two small states (Mizoram and Nagaland) where Christians form a majority of the population. A quarter of the   of Kerala and a third of Goa are also Christian. The Christian festivals of Good Friday and   Day are both celebrated in India. 

There are small Jewish communities in a number of cities, but the Jews of Kochi  Cochin) in Kerala are of special interest because a group claims to have arrived here in 587 BC.
