Christianity is India's third-largest religion according to the census of 2001, with approximately 24 million followers, constituting 2.3 percent of India's population. Some other studies such as Pew Research Center put Christian population in India at 2.5% after taking into account Dalit Christians who sometimes identify as Hindu when completing official census forms and the Association of Religion Data Archives puts the figure as 4.68% or as high as 6% by other individual sources if not the membership of House church or other individual evangelical Pentecostal missions are to be counted. The works of scholars and Eastern Christian writings state that Christianity was introduced to India by Thomas the Apostle, who visited Muziris in Kerala in 52 AD, where there was a Jewish settlement.Although the origins of Christianity in India remain unclear, there is a general scholarly consensus that Christianity was established in India by the 6th century AD, including some communities who used Syriac liturgically, and it is possible that the religion's existence there extends to as far back as the 1st century.Christianity was as such established in India even before some nations of Europe had been Christianised
