""The Syrian Church in India"" is a historical book written by George Milne Rae in 1892. The book explores the origins, history, and traditions of the Syrian Christian community in India, also known as the Saint Thomas Christians. It covers the arrival of Saint Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, in India in the first century AD and his establishment of the first Christian community in the country. The book also discusses the arrival of the Syrian Christians, who migrated to India from Mesopotamia in the 4th century AD, and their subsequent interactions with the local population. The author provides a detailed account of the religious practices, customs, and rituals of the Syrian Church in India, including the Syriac liturgy, the use of incense and candles, and the veneration of saints. The book also sheds light on the social and political context in which the Syrian Church developed, including the influence of Portuguese and British colonialism.
