Does anybody know when North Indian (and present Pakistani) christians were converted? They typically carry surname "Masih".
Who was behind that effort? Were they converted during British rule or even before that?
What is the origin of name "Masih"? Sounds like Messiah.
What are their Hindu roots? Were they from all Hindu castes or from a particular community?
What is the geographical area they live in?
How well off are they? How do they act politically?
