Syrian christians had many stories on Namboodiri-conversion.
But now they have changed the myths to take out the Namboodiris.
(1) A modern rewrite of syrian christian myth:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->There is no historical evidence -for the missionary work of St. Thomas on the West Coast of India. But there is enough evidence to believe that St. Thomas probably was buried at Mylapore. It is, then <b>more likely</b> that he preached Christianity and made Christian converts at Muziris on the mouth of Kaveri in Tamil Nadu rather than in Kerala. The early Christians were <b>probably</b> from the Jewish community, and the mainstream of the St. Thomas Christians are most likely composed of <span style='color:red'>Munda-Dravidian converts and of Jewish converts, but not of Brahmins.</span> These St. Thomas Chris^tens fled west across the Western Ghats in the sixth and seventh centuries, carry-ing with them their religious traditions except the tomb of St. Thomas. The Portuguese records of the sixteenth century say that the St. Thomas Christians told them that they originally came from Tamil Nadu and settled down in Kerala. <b>Most likely the early Kerala Christians are not descend-ants of Nambutiri Brahmins because, as mentioned before, the Aryan Brahmins arrived in Kerala only in the eighth century.</b> Further, there is no archeological evidence for the presence of any pre-eighth-century churches or temples in Kerala. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Check out the speculation: 'most likely', 'probably', 'most likely'. And all without any proofs. Goes to show how Syrian christian myths are made and remade.
Now their stories have completely changed: since they could not have been in Kerala at that early time (because of geographic inconsistencies between Kerala of christomyths and actual Kerala of the time), they now insist it was Tamil Nadu.
Also see how the Namboothris are additionally made out to be non-Indians: 'oryan brahmins', in order to make the Syrian christians more local. There's talk of 'Munda-Dravidians' to contrast these Hamite natives with the Oryan Japethic invaders whose descendants are supposedly the Namboodris.
When these Indian christos finally get clued in to genetics, they might drop the Oryans and Munda-Dravidians story and get together to brainstorm on a new myth.
(2) Another rewrite. Keeping Kerala in the picture time, instead of trading it in for Tamil Nadu. Finally they make the christoterrorist claim:
