Dear Zak,
I wonder if you are Jewish. If you are, than a warm "Shalom" from India ! MA SLOUM KHAA ? ( HOW ARE YOU) IN HEBREW !
I do agree that you are certainly writing a very interesting article. Jews and Hindus could in many ways be considered the most similar race of people. Both these cultures are ancient. Both gave rise to sub faiths...eg: From Mother Judiasm came, Christianity and then Islam..you also have newer faiths like Kabbala etc. Like wise, Hinduism gave rise to Buddhism, Janism, Sikhism and today it has given popular philosophies like vedantic Ishikon (Hare Krishna) and Osho ( Yehudi Menuhin). Both the Jews and Brahmin hindus possess similar qualities, the Hindus and Jewish are considered to have the highest IQ in the bell curve. Their academic perfornmance in UK and USA is the highest above the other communities. Both have always proved to be resourceful and skilled buissness entrepreneurs. Both have strict dietry and social customs. Both have strict dress codes and issues dealing with day to day life. For Jews its the Torah and Talmud. And for hindus its the Vedas and Githa. Both Israel and India start with an "I"..and have their bitterest arch neighbouring enemies which begin with the "P" ( i.e.Palestine and Pakistan) ha ha ha ! Both these powers are nuclear and are surrounded by bitter Islamic states. The Hindus and Jews have given the world the greatest scientists, movie directors, mathematicians, philosophers, musicians, writers, religious leaders, doctors and other professional intellegentia. Both Israel and India have had powerful lady prime ministers in their history. In India it was Indira Gandhi and in Medinat Israel it was Golda Meir.
There are so many other similarities that I can list...but I think you can do that..ha ha ha..Okay okay, I'll give one...India loves Jewish Hollywood and Israelis love Bollywood movies some which became big hits in Tel Avivv film festivals every year. Bollywood movies are aired in the state of Israel every week on national television. and we Indians love the American Jewish media..from Summer Redstone of CBS Viacom and MTV to Tisch of Cable News Network.
Thats it man.
Shalom friend,
PAX..hey and don't you dare call me "Shabbes goyim" ha ha ha !
