The Syrian Christian Pride

JK | Religion

Syrian Christians are one of the earliest known Christian converts in India with the conversion believed to be done by St. Thomas. Kochuthresiamma, a Syrian Christian, wonders why they walked with a certain pride and finds an unusual answer.

And I realized that this nazrani pride is not about being converted by that revered Apostle, or about a long tradition of Christianity practiced by our ancestors or about the jewish/Syrian heritage. It is all about laying a claim to the upper caste. Caste is at the bottom of it all.
