    Educated modern indians must know the true history and fraud of Koonan Kurusu struggle. When the Portuguese brought new christian convents with equality ,into the churches after the rise of the Synod in udyam Perur, a small minority of Syrian Christians, who were at the forefront of India's Chatur varna system and were enjoying cast privileg the society , protested and came out of the Catholic churches of the Portuguese . But it has nothing to do with their patriotism. It is related to the Chatur varna system which is humanistic in Indian culture. Interestingly, the Syrians, who had questioned the Portuguese supremacy, subsequently accepted as their bishop not an Indian: the foreigner Abdallah Patriarkis, This Cleary brings out of the fraud of the Koonan Kurusu struggle.

    Very good video with a strong message , I had a co worker, from this community at my office in Mumbai. They are in general very well disciplined, conservative and classy people. Once I went, to their Syrian church, their prayer forms and rituals are very different from the way we think about Christianity in North India which is based all around what Europeans and white people do . The most surprising part I came to know was they mostly marry within their community and not even with other christians , and they generally also do not convert any people to their community. Just they propagate faith and strengthen their own community. I hope these people continue to hold their centuries old beliefs and customs, and not change it for the white men, who do propagate that whatever they do is only correct and civilized. First we should learn to respect our own traditional beliefs and culture then of other foreigners.

    As a Christian catholic and Portuguese, I agree with you that this people should keep their traditions. You should understand that was a historical process of expansion that serves to understand today day and age. Also we shouldn't vilify races and people but their actions. Also is very important to differentiate Christianity from christandom. I'm glad that today there is peace among those communities.

    Wonderful video, I would thank the channel for putting up information about our community. I am a Kerala Syrian Christian from the Syro-Malabar sect, I am really saddened by the way that rituals and traditions in the Syro-Malabar church have changed over the past few years. In my childhood, the Holy mass in our Church used to be completely different , it used to have East Syriac prayers and songs, which was used in our church for centuries . Nowadays I can find no difference between our Church rituals and other Latin Churches. Really heartbreaking , that sometimes we even have english used in our Qurbana, but almost no use of the East Syriac liturgy used not even on special occasions, which was used by our ancestors for thousands of years. Today many of the younger generation Nasrani's have a faint idea of what our community used to be 50 years ago, narrated to our grandchildren by us. But I am sure, if no changes are made in bringing back some old traditions by our Syrian Christian Churches, generations after a few more years will have no idea about our history and culture as it will be completely diluted and whitewashed.

    I am also Jacobite. I have been reading about the history and understood that there were two forms of Christianity here -> Nestorian (St. Thomas Judeo-Dravidian) and Manichean (Parsi-Dravidian). There are remnants of the Nestorian in the Kottayam Cheriyapalli orthodox church and Catholic Art Museum near Boat-pally. Parsi-Dravidian line is visible in the Kollam Tharisappally. Antiochian (West-Syriac) relations just started in 16th century. Its sad that the true Form of christianity that existed here was completely wiped by Portugese invaders. Current Christianity (almost everywhere) is the result of all the killings and oppression done by Vatican. Acts of St Thomas and Gospel of Thomas are beautiful writings that does not glorify Jesus as a God, but rather as a powerful teacher, more like an enlightened Buddha

    Very true, I also belong to the Syro-Malabar sect , and the traditions and worship forms we performed about 50 years back was very different, my grandchildren won't even believe that our Holy Mass used to be in East Syriac , a dialect of the language spoken by Jesus Christ himself during his lifetime. Compartive to most other Kerala Syrian Christian groups , I think Syro- Malabar church has changed the most, really saddened, there is practically almost no difference between Latin Churches liturgy and Syro-Malabar, we are just forgetting our rich heritage, patronizing European saints and culture is not bad, but it should not be by stamping and forgetting our own centuries old traditions and culture. Naming our children with European Christian names won't make them European .

    Exactly The Christians of Malabar used an ancient Syriac Liturgy. They preserved ancient manuscripts of the Peshitto version of the Scriptures. They knew nothing of “the Latin Obedience,” the Latin liturgy, or the Latin scriptures. Skirting the vast realms of heathenism that lay back of them, they were witnesses for the true scriptures and the gospel of the Son of God now they are following the Latin religion.

    Syro Malabar Catholic Church still follows East Syriac liturgy . All catholic denominations have some common and mandatory part to be followed, which makes them catholic. In our liturgy, there are lots of differences when comparing with the Latin Mass. But the thing is, the new songs which our choir sing makes us confuse. In Latin Mass also , choir sings songs from the same malayalam albums. Actually we have our own prayer songs for all parts of the Qurban. But Choir don't sing that. In our Church, we had a very Holy priest as vicar. He conducted a meeting during Lent time and told us that he got a revelation from our Lord ,that we should sing all Qurbana songs and that was written by very Holy person observing fasting and prayers. Our Choir leader requested to sing new album songs for Easter and then will stop. But our Vicar strictly said no. We are only allowed to sing album songs for Entrance, Holy Communion and Last song. In our Church, East Syriac songs and prayers are said occassionally. In Mandya diocese ,some churches uses Syriac language prayers regularly. I have heard that in Thrissur, some churches , catechism kids also sings Syriac songs during Qurbana. My Mother says that during her Childhood, all prayers was said in Syriac language. It gradually changed.

    I have often heard people saying this that , why would St.Thomas only convert brahmin families, It should be clearly understood that if St.Thomas did come to India , it was in search of Jews living in Muziris(Kerala) as he himself was an Aramic jew, and once he found jews living in Kerala, some of them would have acquanited him with the some local middle eastern traders, Brahmins and Buddhists, who were probably the only civilized ones who could atleast try to communicate, with St.Thomas maybe with the help of local translators , as this is a scene taking place about 2000 years ago . The majority other people ,(majority of who were later termed lower castes)who would have been tribals perhaps were living deep inside the Malabar hills and forests (imagine just like today's Sentinelse tribes), and even St. Thomas would have even tried to communicate with the others but found it is of vain and may be in such an encounter in Mylapore he was speared down . Hence, I think the video is very accurate in describing that the Early converts would have been only Malabari Jews, Brahmins, Buddhists and some civilized natives, it was definitely not because he was biased ,as he would not even know the caste system, but , only those were the only ones, perhaps to whom he could have tried to communicate.
