Mani came to India and China, taking the Silk route; and hence his ministry was concentrated initially in the
North India. In the North India this conflict easily resulted in the destruction of Christian churches soon after
the fall of Taxila kingdom. Most Christian Churches went underground as a result of persecution and others
fled to Syria where the Syrian churches gave them refuge. In the South India the story was different. All the
three regions of Dravidia – the Chola, Chera and Pandya were ruled by Christians – in the Indian myth - by an
Asura King called Maha Bali (The Great Sacrifice people). It is this period when Maha Bali ruled that came to
be the Dark Ages of South India which will explain all known facts. All information on this period was
wilfully destroyed by the new religious leaders of India. We will be able to identify them from history that
followed this period.
`History is always written by the victors and whoever controls the writing of history books control the

MUNDA LEGEND
“The Cheras of the Chotanagpur region, the ancestors of Keralites, had a great king called Bali who governed
the Dinajpur area; he was an asur, who did not worship Vishnu, the Aryan God. He continued to worship the
native Munda god, Lord Shiva. After being defeated by the Vaishnavites the Mundas were forced to settle
down in Kerala. The Mahabali-story of the Keralites, in the Munda-Chera tradition, indicates the triumph of
the Vaishnavite brand of Aryans over the Shiva-worshipping Munda-Cheras. Bali/Balia is a common personal
name among the Mundas.”
“In Tamil Sangam-work, Puram, Maveli appears as the Vellala chief of Milalaikurram. There are
documentary evidenADthat there was a Christian Church among them.” Dr. Zacharias Thundy, Northern
Michigan University
