The Malabar church has its roots in dark skinned Asia not fair skinned Europe. I remember watching a TV program by William Dalrymple where he said the Portuguese even insisted on painting over the dark skinned depictions of the arrival of St Thomas - painted as murals on the walls of the church - and turned all the figures to look like Europeans. This will be an interesting book to read.

One can get a hint of how languages change over a period of time from this picture. See "discover'd" and notice the "s" too.

52 AD was when St Thomas the Apostle arrived at the Malabar Coast. Christianity in India goes back almost 2000 years. A message that needs to be reinforced among current day Indians.
