Comment posted Letters of St. Thomas the Apostle to Edessa from India by John Mathew.
Not so fast Jackson.
Your point 3 (in 17307) ignores the possibility that the MRCA was in the Middle East 2000 years ago. Then one of his descendents converted to Syriac Christianity (as many Jews did), and then immigrated to Kerala as a Syriac Christian. This also fits with the fact that that MRCA still has Jewish descendents.
