Answer:
Christianity is India's third-largest religion after Hinduism and Islam, with approximately 27.8 million (2.78 Crore) followers, constituting 2.3 percent of India's population (2011 census).[3] According to the tradition of Saint Thomas Syrian Christians of Kerala, Christianity was introduced to India by Thomas the Apostle, who is said to have reached the Malabar Coast of Kerala in 52 AD.[4][5][6][7] There is a general scholarly consensus that Christian communities were firmly established in the Malabar Coast of Kerala by the 6th century AD,[8] which were Syrian Christians of Kerala. Starting from European colonisations from 15th century several Western Christian communities like Latin Catholics and Protestants were created in different parts of the country. The Goa Inquisition was established in Portuguese India to enforce Catholic orthodoxy in the Indian colonies of the Portuguese Empire,[9] and to counter the New Christians, who were accused of "crypto-Hinduism", and the Old Christian Nasranis, accused of "Judaising".[9] It was established in 1560, briefly suppressed from 1774 to 1778, continued thereafter until finally abolished in 1812.[10][11]
