P.J.Cherian uses Pattanam for Secessionist Politics-He says Hindus are Migrants to South India and the land was settled by Biblical People

P.J.Cherian said   that “Pattanam excavations show evidence that South India has a Pre-Brahminic  past ,  which was made at Nirmala College,  Muvattupuzha  for Msgr. Thomas Nedumkallel Memorial Lecture.(The Hindu March 26-2011 Kochi Edition)Others who spoke included college Principal Prof. N. Joy; Vice-Principal Vincent Nedungattu This statement has come from  an individual  who got the support of United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA) in 1996 for initiating archaeological studies at the department of history, U.C.College, Aluva in Ernakulam. The UBCHEA is an international organization with head quarters at New York and has long term association with the  U.C.College. Cherian has  also pointed out the possible link of ceramics from Pattanam with Nabateans (Muziris Project 2008 p.4) in Dead Sea region who  were important in the  inter Testamental and New Testamental Periods.Cherian wants to establish that Biblical people settled in south India from early times and Jains, Buddhists as well as Vaishnavite and Shaivaite Hindus are migrants to this land.The seeds of Political bifurcation and secession are being sown by Cherian
