So if Thomas's grave is at Eddessa in Mesopotamia per Ireneus, then what is there in San Thome Madras?
[/quote]I'll get to the 2nd part of your question in a moment.
But the first half of your question contains a fallacy. You're assuming that Thomas existed, died and is buried somewhere. By all valid accounts, neither he nor any of the apostles ever existed.
The whole point of the previously-mentioned reference "The Twelve Apostles" pamphlet "published by Thomas Scott" which quoted Irenaeus was to show how not only jeebus but his 12 apostles didn't exist either.
My point in referring to the statement was simply this: in the 2nd century when the alleged Irenaeus existed, christian history-manufacturing had only yet invented 4 graves for 4 of the alleged apostles: none of which alleged 4 graves were even set in India yet; and notably, that of Thomas was somewhere well away from India. And that he was martyred in Mylapuram, TN, is a story that the catholic church (christoPortuguese) invented only in the 16th century. As Sharan explained, this was their christian way of 'legitimising' their christoterrorist takeover of the Hindu Temple there.
See the following (these are things that all Hindus should MEMORISE - MEMORISE, the way you ought to memorise the names of the many early church fathers who've provided damning evidence/witness for the non-existence of the absurdity known as jeebus):

(Apparently Humphreys is frequently talking on US and UK radio now, debating christists. There's even a video of him talking on SkyTV posted at the site.)
Anyway, in the Right column of the main page of his site are some of his audio files and articles. You'll see the following Telling Section, where each point has associated documents and AUDIOS:
The point is well-stated. It's what people have been saying for centuries:
It is known in genuine biblical scholarship (long documented) that neither the Apostles nor Paul existed. Same for Mary, James, etc, etc, as is mentioned above. (Entire schools of historians worked on exactly this field: the unhistoricity of jeebus and his gang and the forgery of the babble).
