*1665 The "Jacobite" bishop, Mar Gregorios of Jerusalem came to India, confirming the Episcopal consecration of [[w:Mar Thoma I|Mar Thoma I]] as the head of the Orthodox [[Church of India|Church in India]] (Oriental Orthodoxy restored); this was a new beginning in the history of modern Malankara Church.

*1772 [[Malabar Independent Syrian Church]] splits from the main Orthodox Christian body; this church is not in full communion with other Orthodox Churches.

*1910 Formation of the [[Archdiocese of Knanaya]], a part of the [[Church of Antioch (Syriac)|Syrian Orthodox Church]].

*1912 Autocephaly, with the relocation in India of the ''[[w:List of Catholicos of the East|Catholicate of the East]]'', which historically had been in Seleucia and later in Tigris; consecration of the first Indian Catholicose, Moran Mar [[w:Baselios Paulose I|Baselios Paulos]] (1912-14), first ''Catholicose of the East'' in India, with the participation of (deposed?) Patriarch [[w:Ignatius Abdul Masih II|Abdul Messiah]] of Antioch and (excommunicated?) Malankara Metropolitan [[w:Geevarghese Mar Dionysius of Vattasseril|Geevarghese Dionysius]]; the Indian Orthodox Church view is that the ''Catholicate of the East'' is autocephalous and in the legitimate succession of St. Thomas the Apostle, citing use of the term ''"throne of St. Thomas"'' in documents since at least 1301 AD, and that this was a period of religious turmoil where the Patriarch of Antioch interfered and suspended the Malankara Metropolitan, demanding complete surrender, leading to this event; two factions thus emerge in Oriental Indian Orthodoxy: the [[Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church]] ''(Patriarchal, "Jacobite", or Bava Faction)'' and [[Church of India|Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (Indian Orthodox Church)]] ''(Catholicos, or Methran Faction)''.
