Since the Indian Christianity has many distinctive characteristics, it is an interesting area for theological and cultural research. The communities belong to both the West and East Syriac Tradition, call themselves “Hindu in culture, Christian in religion and Oriental in worship”. In this paper the genesis of those communities has been shown as well as the outline of their cultural and ecclesial identity.
