Be aware of the propaganda and secret agenda to destroy Christian faith in India by rewriting history, and then declare India a Hindu nation. BJP and its supporters are very good in rewriting history taught in schools and Universities. The issue of St Thomas coming to Kerala was discussed many times here. No matter what convincing arguments given on the subject, it is their strategy to wait for some time till readers forget the previous arguments and again start the propaganda against it. When you say something, it must be based on something and not your ‘thonnalukal’ or from your hidden agenda. What evidence this scholar has to present as proof to make such blind statements?

Suppose I went to Bombay or another country. What evidence you can you find in Archeology that I went to Bombay or another country? Those days writing was not common, and no records were kept. What type of stupid arguments this so called historian is making? It might help to convince some naïve readers who do not know the meaning of Archeology or its methods or its validity.

Another claim here is that there were no people living in Kerala during the first century. Historical evidence is there for trade relations between ancient Babylonians, Persians and Greeks with the western coast of Kerala. Solomon also traded with products from Kerala with the help of Hiram and his ships. Sidonians or Phoenicians were the rulers of sea those days and Hiram belonged to the Phoenician race. Herodotus describes the dress and curly hair of South Indians soldiers that participated in the Greek Persian conflict.

We know that Aryans came to India around BC1700-BC-1500 after traveling thousands of miles from Middle East and Central Asia, and they pushed the Dravidians to the south in the ensuing conflict. About the claim that there were no people living in Kerala around the time St. Thomas came, there is no common sense in it. Dravidians who were pushed to the south did not walk this short distance that can be covered in a few days? During Persian rule the postal system in the empire could cover the whole empire in one week’s time with horses. North Indians did not trade with South Indians for two thousand years, and they were not curious to know what the South Indians were doing there to not go there for two thousand years from BC1700?  There were always conflicts and perpetual war between people groups and kingdoms during those days. North Indians did not try to subdue South Indians for 2000 years? Brahmins and Naboothiri were a group in Aryans and they they were in Kerala when St. Thomas came as in the tradition. This historian must be ashamed to make such blind statements without supporting evidence.

Why Catholic Church has to teach that St. Thomas came to India? Portughese only tried to cover it up because they wanted to take all the credit for spreading Christianity in Kerala and they did not want to admit the St. Thomas tradition. So it is propaganda that Portughese invented it. Naïve among readers only believe such propaganda. Those who close eyes and make it dark and people with hidden agenda only will make statements like this historian makes here.
