Q. When did Christians first arrive in Jharkhand?
Answer: 1845
Notes: Christianity entered Jharkhand in 1845 when four German missionaries from Gossner Evangelical Lutheran Mission arrived in Ranchi on November 2. They traveled from Kolkata and established the first worship house at Bethesda on December 1, 1845. The first baptisms began in 1846 with tribal Oraons and Mundas baptized by 1850. This event marked the start of organized Christianity among Chhotanagpur tribes, supported by British authorities.
