Daniel Peterson, Deseret News Tuesday Dec 25, 2018 at 1:07 AM Although we usually connect India with Hinduism and Buddhism, Christianity came to the subcontinent very early. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are now contributing to that long history. India is generally known as the land of Hinduism and Buddhism, and rightly so. But it is also home to a unique branch of Christianity, the Thomas Christians.
