Before the European colonisers could come, some St. Thomas Christians had already migrated and established communities in central and north India.

| == Problematic edits by User:Tharian == | |||
| In this , User:Tharian stated that the Church of South India and the Church of North India inherited an episcopal polity from the Anglican Communion. However, both of these united Protestant Churches do not have a single polity, but rather a mixed polity that contains elements from episcopal polity, congregational polity, and presbyterian polity. The of the Church of South India clearly states this: | |||
| {{quotation|Organized into 22 dioceses, each under the spiritual supervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by a synod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2 years. Episcopacy is thus combined with Synodical government, and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal, Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary for the church's life.}} | |||
| Note that these united Protestant Churches use the term ] rather than Primate, combining both the Presbyterian and Anglican leader into one office; pastors are usually known as "presbyter in charge" rather than "priest in charge" (see ). This fact is corroborated by other references, such as ''The American Church that Might Have Been: A History of the Consultation on Church Union'' by Keith Watkins, Professor Emeritus of Worship at Christian Theological Seminary, who states in his book published by ] that: | |||
| {{quotation|The Church of South India created a polity that recognized Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Congregational elements and developed a book of worship that bridged the liturgical traditions that came into this new church. It set up a plan by which existing ministries were accepted while including processes which would lead to the time, a generation later, when all ministers would have been ordained by bishops in apostolic succession. The Church of South India was important as a prototype for a new American church because two factors had come together: the cross-confessional nature of its constituent parts and the intention to be, in effect, the Protestant Christian presence in communities all across the southern territories of its nation.}} | |||

Inquisitions Forced Conversion Narrative by Hindu fascists
About this edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Special:Diff/1185080586
I have flagged the questionable material added by Varoon (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Special:Diff/1184112020). The user has been abusing Misplaced Pages for their hindu majoritarianist political agenda known as hindutva. His anti-Christian bias in their other edits are obvious. With impunity, he has been whitewashing the Hindu fascist BJP political party for its involvement in anti-Christian violence: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Special:Diff/1184577643
Inquisition based bogey/ narrative of forced conversions by Hindu majoritarianists and fascists. It has been the anti-freedom of religion and anti-conversion smear campaign; driven by lobbies of Hindu fascism backing the current administration. It was started by Hindu Maharashtri supremacists such as AK Priolkar who wrote the dubious the Goa Inquisition book. They wanted the Konkani language suppressed and replaced as Mahratti and Guzerati in Goa and Damaon; as it has happened in the Konkan Division occupied by Maharashtra. The supremacists also wanted Goa erased from the map, by having it occupied by pro-Hindutva Mahraashtra political parties.
A Rediff source has been used. If I remember correctly, Rediff was a listed unreliable as per WP:RS.
Also, according to Teotonio in the sources used by Varoon (https://books.google.com/books?id=vtf1eRE8FC8C&q=persecution): Oppression of Hindus and demolition of temples was done directly by Portuguese colonialists and started before the Goan Inquisition. Christian Inquisition has been mistaken for Hindu persecution because of the overwhelming YouTube and Twitter smear campaign; run by Hindu fascists and majoritarianists such as Shef Vaidya a mouthpiece and Maharashtri member of RSS.
The Inquisition dealt with Christians only and punished only those Hindus who used force or violence to stop conversions to Christianity; inorder to protect the Christian minority. 106.79.207.29 (talk) 13:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
