He has written several books on the subject of [[Jesus in India|Lost years of Jesus]] and Kashmir,<ref name="RameshNovember2007">{{cite news | last = Ramesh | first = Randeep | date = 19 November 2007 | title = Hollywood takes action hero Jesus to India | work = [[The Guardian]] | url = https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/nov/19/india.religion | accessdate = 1 February 2009 }}</ref> which have been translated into Spanish, Italian, Polish, and Japanese. He has made frequent guest appearances in documentaries about the tomb of [[Roza Bal]] supporting the teaching of the founder of [[Ahmadiyya Islam]] [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad]] (1899) that Jesus of Nazareth died in India. Christian theologians have been highly critical of Hassnain's works - Christian academics dismissing these claims include [[Günter Grönbold]], [[Wilhelm Schneemelcher]], [[Norbert Klatt]], [[Per Beskow]], and [[Gerald O'Collins]].<ref>Mark Bothe Die "Jesus-in-Indien-Legende" - Eine alternative Jesus-Erzählung? - 2011 - Page 30 "1.4.2 Fida Hassnain - Fida M.
