reverted four times. Additionally, it is peculiarly captioned for a photo of a very specific couple. The clothing is mentioned in the article, but not in your caption. While inclusion of images of traditional dress are nice, the image hardly depicts that clothing (only from the chest up). A preferable image exists on the page for the Chatta and Mundu. You've also been inserting the image in a location somewhat irrelevant to what it depicts; if we weren't already so full-up on illustrations in that article, you'd want to put it directly by the passage that mentions it. Thanks for reaching out, but I recommend you heed the gathered consensus against that image on the page. ~

Maybe the St. Thomas Community does not have a detailed account or that much of the history is still in Malayalam and not in English. We could

5)Syriac Christianity (Syriac: ܡܫܝܚܝܘܬܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܬܐ‎ / mšiḥāiūṯā suryāiṯā) encompasses the multiple Churches of Eastern Christianity whose services tend to feature liturgical use of ancient Syriac, a dialect of Middle Aramaic that emerged in Edessa in the early 1st century AD, and is closely related to

route. I’m not sure why it’s not mentioned on wiki pages but there were other Europeans who traveled by land and sea routes to India. Maybe because it’s not credible enough. We can cite it as the accounts of the traveler. It may or may not be real. The info I see that’s needed is documentation on

2)The Malankara Church is a church of the Saint Thomas Christians of Kerala, India, with particular emphasis on the part of the community that joined Archdeacon Mar Thoma in swearing to resist the authority of the Portuguese Padroado in 1653. This faction soon entered into a relationship with the

That is indeed something new. I will also be active in finding more sourced materials regarding the conflict between the ancient jews and muslims. I have heard about a tradition of the knanaya community, a Jewish Christian community which had migrated to Southern parts of Kerala from Cranganore

4)At least from the fourth century the Indian Church entered into a close relationship with the Persian or East Syrian Church. From the Persians, the Indians inherited East Syrian language and liturgies and gradually came to be known as Syrian Christians.

I also agree with Pbritti that it is not useful to readers, as I do not think it is relevant enough to Saint Thomas Christians as an encyclopedia topic. Since it doesn't clearly illustrate the clothes, it is decorative, and therefore inappropriate.

This requires citation. Except for some very rare and specific cases, engagement (othukalyanam) and kalyanam (marriage) are performed separately and hosted by the bride's family and groom's family respectively.

But wouldn't that be contradictory for the common perception that Vasco Da Gama was the first European to land in the Malabar coast??? Seems that it is well sourced then can be added to the article.
