Allan de Noronha (born 1951), commonly called Chhotebhai, is an Indian writer who was president of the All India Catholic Union (AICU) from 1990 to 1994.
In July 1990 two nuns were raped in Gajraula, and Noronha was invited to meet the prime minister Vishwanath Pratap Singh to discuss what action should be taken.
His AICU took the initiative and called a joint meeting with the All India Christian People's Forum (AICPF) at which a consensus formula was found on which the different churches and organizations could agree.
In May 1995 Chhotebhai's successor as AICI president, the MP Peter G. Marbaniang, was promising to take up the question of introducing a Christian Marriage Bill in parliament.
[10] In July 2011 a Delhi High Court caused controversy when it validated the marriage of two first cousins after they had converted from the Hindu religion to Christianity.
As spokesman for the AICU, Chhotebhai said "The Catholic Church expressly forbids the type of marriage validated by the Delhi High Court".
[12] In February 2012 a new TV series in the Hindi language called "Masihi Satsang" (A Christian Search for Truth) began to be broadcast across India.
