It does not seem probable that Gurus were not aware of Christ. Some argue DG is British invention. If they can add it means they could also delete. Why they would not do it as they wanted to establish christianity in India. Any opinion?
Where the British got a longer lease..kerala, tamilnadu, bengal etc...they did convert quite a lot..Goa for example..has alarge christian population..so has Kerala.
The origin of Karela Christians dates back to 52 A.D. when St.Thomas,a disciple of Christ, landed in India near Cochin.People from different walks of life converted to Chritianity,including Namoodari Brahamins.The British didnt get the chance as far as Punjab was concerned...Punjab dropped LAST into their LAP...almost IMMEDIATELY began to agitate for INDEPENDENCE.....and in a short period of 100 years was INDEPENDENT !!..The SINGH SABHA LEHR..the NAMDHAREE LEHR..Ghadar Lehr.Gurdwara Sudhaar Lehr...SGPC..Akali Dal..etc etc...Punjab was in constant turmoil..for the Christian Missionaries to do much

Anyway Kanwardeep ji is correct..the British East India company was not in India for christianity..it was for BUSINESS of Making MONEY.....the Missionaries were on their own..not Govt sponsered...
IF the Christians were like the MUGHALS..there would be churches all over...they woudl have demolished mosques/mandirs etc and made them into churches..its just not their style...they work in more subtle ways..he he he..and they are MORE FAIR..they give to all religions..just as they do in the WEST NOW.
