All Catholic diocese are in communion with the pope, but they are not all members of the Roman rite, so they are not Roman Catholic. A Roman Catholic is a Catholic who is a member of the Roman rite.. which is most of the Catholics in the Western world. The Roman rite differs from the Eastern European rites, only in local customs that are different among them.

Ancient Indians were pagans.. it’s the newer lineages that brought in the influx of religious beliefs and idolatry. My Indian fam are not Hindu, Vedic, Buddhist, etc., but of local Custom and concern.. the original pre-religion way, of existing.

When I say "few," I mean "if any," giving you the benefit of the doubt that in recent times some may have converted or some immigrants from India may have brought it with them.
