==History==
[[File:Allsaintcathedral ald.jpg|thumb|[[All Saints Cathedral, Allahabad]].]]

===Mughal India===
Christianity was first introduced to [[Uttar Pradesh]] during the reign of [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] Emperor [[Akbar]] (1556-1605). Akbar was known for his secular theology. He sought out educated [[Jesuit]] Priests from [[Goa]] and gave them permission to bring Christianity to his people. However, Christianity in this state has long been a tiny, stagnant minority. In recent years many people are baptized, mainly in [[Protestantism]]. India is also called as place for all religion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gfa.org/countryprofiles/uttarpradesh/ |title=Regional Updates - Gospel for Asia |publisher=Gfa.org |date= |accessdate=2013-10-14}}</ref>

===British Raj===
During British Raj many people converted to Christianity, most of them employed in Indian Army or Government offices.<ref>The story of Cawnpore: The Indian Mutiny 1857, Capt. Mowbray Thomson, Brighton, Tom Donovan, 1859, pp. 148-159.</ref> During the [[1857 revolt]], many Indian Christians were killed in the uprising, while revolters took revenge from the [[United Kingdom]]; as for them an Indian Christian was synonymous to being British.
