The Spread of myth of
âDoubting Thomasâ by South Indian Historians!
Now, it is evident that a vested group inside SIHC works faithfully to spread âthe Doubting Thomasâ myth through their proceedings, which is reportedly meant for secular and scientific history. When Dr. B. Maria John, Reader in History, Manonmaniyam Sundaranar University, Tiruynelveli read a paper on January 21, 2005, he was asked by another participant delegate many questions for which he could not answer.
The sectional President Prof A. R. Ramachansdra Reddy was clearly convinced about the motivated attempt of the paper presenter. But, what is surprising is that the unhistorical paper containing only myth, trash etc., has been appearing in the proceeding volume distributed during the 26th session of SIHC held at Bangalore during conference held from March 3rd to 5th 2006.
âSt. Thomas, the Indian Apostleâ has been printed in the pages 680-683. Interestingly, the volume has been edited by the Chief Editor Dr. B. S. Chandra Babu with members of the Editorial Committee â
Prof. B. Narasingaraja Naidu, Bangalore.
Prof. G. Sethuraman, Madurai.
Prof. Yenadhi Raju, Tirupati.
Prof. K. Gopalan Kutty Calicut.
Therefore, even if A. R. Ramachandra Reddy was reluctant to recommend considering the dubious nature of the paper, these professors of history from their respective universities must have impressed upon him to recommend for publication or otherwise, as the paper is appearing in the volume as noted above. Why these professors being historians and all want to support and spread the myth of doubting Thomas in India? Why they want to accommodate such blatant lies and thereby become âliars of Indian historyâ? To know the facts, the conduct of the 25th session of SIHC has to be analyzed.
There has been a âhistorical fightâ between the historians Dr. D. Daniel and Dr. D. Janaki and the reasons are not known. See the version of Dr. D. Daniel appearing in the proceeding volume reproduced below for convenience.
As Dr. D. Daniel has been the General Secretary, the Christians decided to support and save his face. The Pillar Guest House came forward to provide food and accommodation to the delegates. Of course, though food was common to everybody (it is entirely a different story that some of the delegates could not get lunch daily), accommodation was restricted only to the coterie of the SIHC. Many delegates openly accepted that but for the Christian support, Daniel could not have conducted the session. Having helped, the co-called âSilver Jubilee Sessionâ was conducted with the Christian help. Thus, the Church must have dictated the editorial committee to accommodate the Christian supporting articles / papers with its vested interests through Dr. D. Daniel. A close study of 154 papers selected for publication shows the following trend:
Papers published under different sections Total papers Presented by Christians Christian supporting papers
Political 35 9 4
Social 44 12 10
Economic 19 4 2
Cultural 45 5 3
Hist. & Matritime 10 1 -
Total 154 31 19
Thus totally 50 out of 154 papers have been thus presented by Christians and Christian supporting writers. Of course âagainst non-Christian categoryâ might be also clubbed together, but not done. In any case, the Christian bias and the influence are clearly noted and recorded.
It is unfortunate that the scholars proclaiming themselves historians have stooped down such level to support and spread unhistorical lies, deceits and fabrications. It is well known fact that as to how the former Archbishop Arulappa was involved in such fabrication with the engaged self styled Professor Dr. Acharya Paul only to spread the âThomas mythâ. It is a fact that Archbishop Arulappa took Professor Dr. Acharya Paul to the then Pope through Cardinal Retzinger, the present Pope! It is better historians to keep away from this type of âhistory fabricatorsâ, as otyerwise, the involved historians have to held responsible for their âunhistorical activities and alliancesâ.
