Territories of Catholic dioceses in India
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Territories_of_Catholic_dioceses_in_India
This article gives a list of the territories of the dioceses of the Catholic Church in India. Each diocese is administered by a bishop. Dioceses are further grouped into ecclesiastical provinces. The most important diocese of the province is the archdiocese and the bishop of this diocese is an archbishop. While they each usually consist of a few Indian civil districts, dioceses can range in size from just a portion of a district to spanning entire states. The civil district should not be confused with ecclesiastical district or deanery, which is another type of subdivision of a diocese.
