Meet Lydia Sebastian, Indian-origin girl in UK with IQ higher than Albert Einstein

[mooppan]

Most chrisitan names originate in the middle eAst not in Europe. About half of all Malayalee Christian men are named "thomas" which is a middle eastern name. The rest are mostly "john" "George" also middle eastern.

Europeans are using middle eastern names not the other way round. European names of pagan origin like " Siobhan" or " Erin" are not found in india.

thats not entirely true..
We do use Sanskrit names like anand,prakash,arun,prakash,aravind etc and latin/english names like sunny,jimmy etc,Portuguese sounding names like Reynold,Charlie,brittas,Vasco (common among latin/anglo Indians) and Tamil sounding names like Selvaraj,Selvin,Arulraj(common among Nadar Christians)..
Erin is also used..

I never said there is ,i said "I don't accept her to be Indian with that name living in UK"

Some people didn't like my opinion and start debating like they going to change my opinion.

OK, One last point I want to make, because this is really a non-issue. When folk name there child, they usually try to name after something nice, eg "daisy" or ruby" or "charity" or after some religious symbol. The name of their god or saints or someone in mythology. "Shoba" "priya" "arun" are common among Malayalee Christians but they also use names that come out of their religious texts. It does not make them non indian any more than using the name "Sarah" or "abraham" makes an English person non-English.

There are always few exceptions here and there.

Its no exception - In fact I can name several members of minority who are widely respected in India

These are no longer middle eastern names if they ever were.

Just because you are ignorant ?Giwargis,Yawsep,Yohannan or Mariam are not European names-George,Joseph,John & Mary might be.

If you ask an American - he might say those are 'Chaldean names'

I was not speaking of the origin but the place they are associated with today in 21st century, kapish?
Whose 2000 year old history are you speaking by the way? Malayali Christians? Again back to peddling the same snakeskin oil?

Read history,genius.

Sweetie, thank you for your post. We understand your concern based on your in depth knowledge of india. Now please bu33er off and annoy someone else. Thank you.

Sweetie do read few posts of your fellow fundamentalist hindutavas on these very forums to get an idea.

And of course the realities on the ground.

Meat ban, anyone?

And I have met so many Indians abroad (Christians, non-hindus) to get an idea what is going on there.

What history? The one concocted by your Church about apostle Thomas landing in Kerala? That which has been bunked a thousand times over but you shamelessly continue to peddle? Wait a minute I remember you refuting that story as lies too.

What? There is no other traditional explanation for the origin of Syriac Christian community in India, although some historians like MGS Narayanan do postulate that Syriac Christians are originally west Asian traders/migrants who settled in India

Anyway that makes our community at least 1400 years old.

Once again to make you morons understand, Christianity in 21st century is seen as a religion of the "West" though apparently there are people from all over the world who follow it. So its association with Western countries and that is what I was alluding too. Not the origin of Christianity. Frankly, I doubt anyone looks at Middle East today and thinks Christians.

That is correct. It makes your community 1400 years old and not 2000 years old as Kerala, its people, its govt like to holler about.

Why should you care about what the majority think,if you know that Christianity is actually an oriental religion ?

As I said - may be.Both the 'st thomas theory ' & 'migration theory' are hypothesis-one can't prove them as we do in physics or mathematics.

Because my original comment was on the mindset of the majority here and not about my knowledge of Christianity.

The St. Thomas story has been debunked a thousand times over and remains a propaganda item for the Church to prove Christianity in Kerala is older than Hinduism as that moron Shashi Tharoor claimed. It has been proved to be false thoroughly enough. As to the migration theory, it remains that a theory, but one that no one is contesting.

No its not - Christianity in Kerala is not older than Hinduism,and such claims wouldn't be made by any of the Syrian Christian churches ( who are non-proselytizing )

As far as I know both theories can be considered to explain the origin.

Both theories are not valid since one has been proved to be false.

None can be proven wrong ( or right )
