Question

to kniw by whom and when chrisyionity and islam arrived in india

Answer 1

Islam:
Muhammad Bin Qasim in 712 A.D.
Christianity:
Thomas Apostle

Answer 2

Don't know about Islam, but it appears that the Apostle Thomas established a church in India... I read this many years ago in the National Geographic. People of India have that tradition from Thomas (in Kerila) and the Geographic found evidence of the story being true.

But I have to add that many Indians also seem to think that Jesus Christ spent time there as well... and that is a possibility, since the words Jesus spoke do have a very eastern tone to them... teacher-disciple tradition is also an eastern tradition... and that way of teahing comes from an ancient Indian traditon. But there are many more eastern connections.

Answer 3

St. Thomas the Apostle brought the good news of the Gospel to India, Islam arrived by the Turkish invasion of Pakistan in Medieval times.

Answer 4

According to the tradition, St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, came to India in 52 A.D., and landed at Kodungallur on the Malabar (presently Kerala) coast. He preached the Gospel to the Brahmin families of Kerala, many of whom received the faith. He established seven Churches there: Kodungallur, Kottakkavu, Palayur, Kollam, Kokkamangalam, Niranam and Chayil. It is also a tradition that he frequently visited Malayattoor hills for prayer. Later, he moved on to the east coast of India. He was martyred in 72 A.D. by a fanatic at Little Mount (near Madras) and his body was brought to Mylapore (near Madras) and was buried there. His tomb is venerated until this day.

Muslims began coming to India from the 11th century . They arrived in India from Bukhara, Turkey, Iran, Yemen and Afghanistan. The most famous preacher of Islam in India was Khwaja Chishti, who arrived from Iran and his sect is called Sufism. But the accepted assumption in India is that most of India's Muslims were converted to Islam through the sword. Meaning the Indians were given an option between death or adopting Islam.
