According to certain traditions, while Paul carried on his ministry around the Mediterranean, the apostle Thomas extended his ministry eastward, landing on the Kerala coast of the southern tip of India and preaching there. Whether that's true or not, Charles T. Russell definitely made a stop in Kerala during his 1912 world tour. The 1977 yearbook contains this interesting tidbit under the subsection, "A Significant Visit":

 

Quote

Upon Russell’s arrival at Trivandrum from Madras, S. P. Davey greeted Russell at the railway station and garlanded him in typical Indian style. The British government representative, known as the Political Resident, received Brother Russell hospitably and invited him to stay at the Residency. He arranged for the Society’s first president to speak at the city’s Victoria Jubilee Town Hall. Russell also spoke at a nearby village called Nyarakad, where Davey lived. Afterward the name of the village was changed to Russellpuram, meaning The Place of Russell, and so it is called to this day.

 

Russellpuram (also spelled Russelpuram) is located here:
