"The Pahlavi-inscribed crosses of South India are one of the most celebrated examples of the vestiges of ancient Indian Christianity since their discovery by the Portuguese. Church historians have recently been successful enough to bring back the use of these crosses among Syriac Christians of India by explaining the historical background, purpose, and artistic syncretism during the 8th and 9th centuries. Today, almost all of the Christian world accepts these facts and interprets them as a continuation of the parallel developments that took place during the 6th–10th centuries in Persia, Central Asia, China, etc."
