Was there more context to the question, Pool? (Like what Whateverist mentioned above?)
No, no more context other than "Which is more correct, Why?". The why is the tricky part lol

Yeah, it was held in India, as far as the rocky history goes most of the struggles were concentrated in the north, the south had it's own set of problems but there was always harmony and understanding among the people. There is a mosque, a temple and a church each situated close by in the center of our state's capital, since forever without any conflicts, so that should speak volumes by itself.
Most of the necessary violence were a cause of politics, besides I probably have some foreign genes from England, so we're all probably related anyway. Oh and by the way, Jesus's disciple Saint Thomas came to my state in AD 52, pretty cool, right?
