Christianity has been active in the Indian subcontinent since the first century, long before the modern state that is now India. At the time, much of the religeon, especially in south India (Karnataka)was comprised of vedic rituals that predated Hinduism, at least as it is now known. Most of the Hindu persecution of Christianity in India now is driven more by nationalistic concerns than religeous.
The beliefs which form the basis of modern Hinduism go back into the mists of time, well before the arrival of Christianity in the subcontinent.
