<span style='color:red'>Christo-ashtakam for India</span>
Historically, below would summarize the 8 fundamental tenets of Christianism about Hinduism and India. Shows why another AIT (Apostle of India - Thomas) is important o them.
1. That the Hindus have never had a Saviour whose historicity can be ascertained, with the possible exception of the Buddha;
2. That Jesus Christ whose historicity cannot be questioned has superseded all earlier Saviours of Hinduism (if they were Saviours at all and not disciples of Lucifer) and rendered superfluous all subsequent Hindu saints and sages;
<span style='color:red'>3. That St. Thomas, an apostle of Jesus himself, was specially chosen by the Church to win India for his Masterâs message.
4. That St. Thomas could not complete his mission in India because he met an untimely martyrdom at the hands of some Hindu, most probably Brahmin, heathens;
5. That the converts made by St Thomas, the first century Christians of the South, establish beyond doubt that Christianity is an ancient Indian religion and not a Western import as alleged by the Hindus;
6. That it is the sacred task of the Christian Church to complete the mission of St. Thomas and see to it that India becomes a Christian country, once and for all;

7. That if there is any thing good and wholesome in Hindu religion, it is not because Hindu saints and sages ever made any direct or conscious contact with Truth but because they merely stumbled upon some of it in the workings of Universal Nature which was preparing itself over a long time for the advent of Jesus Christ;
8. That no Hindu, even if he follows the Ten Commandments in letter and spirit and lives by the Sermon on the Mount, can ever hope to escape eternal hell-fire unless he has been baptised in a Christian church and administered the Christian sacraments.
