There was a 1 hour TV programme about this on BBC. Very intersting, I must say.
I suppose this is what the "theory" is based on ???????
"Yuz Asaf (or Yus Asaph, or Shahzada Nabi Hazrat Yura Asaf) is believed, to be the name adopted by Jesus after he survived the crucifixion and subsequently migrated to Kashmir."

Isnt' it premature to discuss Christ's migration when his existence hasn't been proved yet?

Christ's existance and miracles that he had performed during his lifetime has been documented in The Bible (His existance has been documented in History-A simple Google search can return you many sources) . Also many Miracles are being done in his name as of today by men following Jesus (Eg. Benny Hinn, Ted Shuttleworth Etc....). Though many have doubts as to if the Miracles are real ( As in the Case of Benny Hinn), I am yet to see a documented version showing that his miracles are false. If you see Channel 9 in Toronto, You can see many people performing miracles in Jesus's name.
Just for the information of CD members.

I dont think there is any doubt{EDIT: There always can be doubt, as with any other historical figure
} as to his existence...same as that of Mohammed 600(approx) yrs later or Gautama Buddha approx 600 yrs earlier. That he was born 300 years after Alexander the great may give more perspective as to the era of Jesus's existence. There is plenty of historical evidence of a Jesus from Nazareth, who founded what the roman rulers of the land called a 'cult'. The personality of Christ and his first disciples intermingle with documented roman history( not just biblical or in the Koran...since Jesus is mentioned in the latter book too).
e.g: the roman emperor Nero killed a lot of Christians.
Even if we use the bible as an indirect reference...many of the occurences mentioned in the Bible can be corroborated by comparing it with other secular records of the era. e.g: Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of the province of Judea during that time.
A Christian site that provides link to some writings outside the bible

Some says the references to him the the 'Antiquities...' are forgeries imposed by the church.
Though his(attributed to him) teachings were quite revolutionary for the area, his divine(some may say mythical) status/attributes/life has often been under scrutiny(as it should be).
