It is more likely that Pakistan, currently the center of hardcore islam and the source of islamic terrorism in the world, is christianity's target. By portraying the region englufing the present day Pakistan as an once-christian region, the church is setting the ground for active proselytization there. By feeding stories of this kind, similar to the tactics they used in south India to make christianity culturally acceptable - by making it part of the local heritage - they are aiming to pave the way for christianizing Pakistan and the neighbouring regions.
South India is already a done deed. They have achieved what they set out to do - that is christianize the states (particularly TN and Kerala) in a big way; now their target is western India, particularly those areas considered resistent to the regular christian proselytisation - through monetary enticement. The first step is of course to change the region's history, and make it a christian one.
