A:The antiquity of Christian communities in India, along with the origins of Christian institutions, is not easy to identify, trace or understand. Local traditions are that the Apostle Thomas came by sea from Arabia and landed on the Malabar coast. Alternatively, they have shown that he came overland, down from the north. Whatever the historicity of such indigenous traditions, there can be no question as to their great antiquity or to their great appeal in popular imagination.

In 345, not long after the great persecutions of Christians within the Persian Empire had begun, a community of Syrian Christians landed on the Malabar coast under the leadership of an Armenian merchant banker named Thomas of Kana. It is not possible to say whether this coincidence of name led to the gradual belief that it was the disciple Thomas who brought Christianity to India, but in any case Christianity had probably already arrived in India by the year 345. Hints of early Christian presence in India are found in writings which date only a century or two later than the apostolic era.

To Earth, everybody did. It is what happens when you ask questions about the universe. The people in the west call it science though.

To different countries, that would depend on the country. In the US it would probably be Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.

Hinduism has its origins in such remote past that it cannot be traced to any one individual. Some scholars believe that Hinduism must have existed even in circa 10000 B.C. and that the earliest of the Hindu scriptures - The Rig Veda - was composed well before 6500 B.C. The word "Hinduism" is not to be found anywhere in the scriptures, and the term "Hindu" was introduced by foreigners who referred to people living across the River Indus or Sindhu, in the north of India, around which the Vedic religion is believed to have originated
