A belief that Jesus travelled to India and adopted Buddhist teachings and methods has been around since at least the 19th Century when scholars attempted to explain the similarities between Christianity and the much older Buddhist teachings. Traditions have it that during the ‘missing years’ i.e. those not chronicled in the New Testament, Jesus travelled to the ‘lost tribes’ of Israel who had not returned to the Holy Land but had settled in Afghanistan, Northern India and beyond.
The following is a video documentary by the Government of India on Jesus in Kashmir, India.
Again I say this story is cooked up to justify that Muslims were already in Kashmir.Islam was not in existence at the time Christ was around.
But the fact is the people who predominantly living there were Kashmir Brahmana Pundits (Who are identified as Hindus).There were no Muslims in Kashmir at that time.
Those Pundits were intimidated and forcefully evicted by the Muslims with threat to their life.
So I will not buy this story.It is very fishy.
I hope I am right.Please bear with me if I am wrong or kindly correct me accordingly.
I am not taking the side of Muslims but Islam was there before the Christ.
Islam is from Ishmael the son Of Abraham the prophet. He is called father of nations.
If Jesus studied in Vaisnava scriptures in Jaganath Puri it is very unbelievable to me that he would study and accept lower knowledge of Buddhism and mayavada, so I have some doubts about the whole story. The movies is made without reference to the source of the scriptures where is his journey described. Just to mention that there are references is not sufficient. There should have been the proper quotations given when showing his journey, where it is written he was in Varanasi, in Puri etc. Moreover, when he was traveling he was not known as a big muster, so why others would write about him. Out of thousands of disciples why he would be chosen to write about.

I am open to accept that he was in India and Kashmir but I need some clarifications about these points.
Dear seeker3k
Islam has been in existence only 1400 years whereas Christianity has been in existence 2000 over years,how do you explain the claim Islam was there before Christ?
Yes it was there. But not at the time of chirst in India. It is what Chandra Segaran Nair wanted to convey.
Being Very clear that Islam is not 1400 years old actually!! It just is the period of Time after Our Prophet Muhammed. Islam is From the begining of life on earth That is from Adam A.S then Nuh, Abraham , David, Jonah, Jacob, Job, lsmail, lsaac, moses, jesus and Our last prophet Muhammed!! PEACE BE UPON THEM!!! MAY ALLAH GİVE U A RİGHT PATH!!
