Description: This third edition of THE MYTH OF SAINT THOMAS AND THE MYLAPORE SHIVA TEMPLE is a study of the St. Thomas in India legend—its origin, history, ideology, and communal ramifications—and is named after the main, 24-chapter essay by Ishwar Sharan. It includes 28 independent, penetrating articles by senior journalists and respected scholars, and exposes in detail the Hinduphobia in India’s secular English-language media. One section deals with the pronounced Christian bias of the Encyclopedia Britannica's St. Thomas entry and the same Christian bias in the online reference for Thomas the Apostle in Wikipedia. Both encyclopedia’s carry fanciful, non-factual entries for St. Thomas that they refuse to correct or change.

The book also documents the destruction of the original Kapaleeswara Shiva Temple by the Portuguese and its replacement by the San Thome Cathedral Basilica in Mylapore, Madras.

This edition is out of date and out of print.
