Hinduism in the United States was primarily brought by Indian immigrants, particularly from regions like Punjab and Gujarat, starting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Additionally, indentured laborers from India, who were taken to various parts of the Caribbean, Fiji, and Africa, also contributed to the spread of Hinduism globally. These communities established temples and cultural institutions, preserving and promoting their religious practices and beliefs. Over time, Hinduism has continued to grow and evolve in various parts of the world due to subsequent waves of immigration.
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.
The early Hindu religion is known as Vedic religion or Vedic Hinduism. It originated in ancient India around 1500 BCE and was based on the early Vedic texts, known as the Vedas, which were considered sacred and authoritative scriptures.
