Vatican confirms "No Record" on St.Thomas India Hoaxes with them

Vatican letterhead for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
Ishwar Charan, highly respected Historian on early Christianity and St.Thomas hoaxes, and Jesus as Lord Hoaxes wrote to Vatican in leter dated 26 August 1996 and on September 11, 1996, Vatican replied that they do not have any record till date.

This Congregation for the Causes of Saints has received your letter of 26th August last in which you have asked for information regarding Saint Thomas’ presence in India.
We have not found in our Archives the letter supposedly written by this Congregation on 13th November 1952, of which you speak, because of a lack of more precise data (diocese, destination, etc.).
Nor do we have other data regarding Saint Thomas since this Archive was begun in 1588. His life is the object of the research of historians which is not the particular competence of this Congregation.[1]
Rome, September 11, 1996.

Notes
  1. On 13 November 1952 the Vatican sent a letter to the Christians of Kerala stating that the alleged landing of St. Thomas at Muziris (Cranganore/Kodungallur) was unverified. The Vatican chose not to confirm the sending of this letter to Ishwar Sharan in 1996 on the disingenuous grounds that he had not supplied them with enough information to locate it in their archives. In fact they could have given him a positive reply if they had wished to. Pope Benedict XVI has since stated in public that St. Thomas did not evangelize South India.
