Christianity arrived in India much before it reached Europe, and it is said that the first surviving church in the world is in India. Some scholars argue that Jesus spent his twenties in India, and it is generally believed that "the wise men from the East" were sages from India. So the intermingling of Christianity and Indian religions has taken place ever since the birth of Christianity. Here's a potpourri of topics on Christianity in India.
