India was always a safe haven for Jews

Israel has an official book in which they say that they have been persecuted in every part of the world especially in Germany. It further says that if there is a land where Jews were welcome and never persecuted in its history, then its India where Jews have lived for centuries. (Note: This is true; when Israel's very first parliament formed after its formation the very first resolution they passed was to thank India). If there is one place in the world which has been a safe haven for Jews, it is India. “India has been the only country in the world where Jews have never been oppressed or suppressed or discriminated against,” says Romiel Daniel, who is Jewish-Indian-American. Indeed, India has been nurturing home and haven for generations of Jews whose ancestors fled from persecution centuries ago. At its peak there were about 37,000 Jews living in India. “Discrimination is something that has never happened in India for 2000 years and that is something we are very proud of

Modi's Israel visit - A pictorial story.

Received at Airport by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu India-Israel ties are a marriage made in heaven, practised on earth. Mr. Netanyahu while  according a warm welcome to Mr. Modi  said the India-Israel relationship was a marriage made in heaven, but implemented on Earth. Interestingly, this is not the first time Mr. Netanyahu has used this phrase to describe Israel’s relationship with another country — in March 2015, he had described the Israel-China relationship in similar terms. With Israeli President “'I' for 'I' is India for Israel, and 'I' with 'I' is India with Israel” The Israeli PM, in his welcoming speech, summed up the formula for success as “ I2 T2”. This, he said, is equal to “Indian talent times Israeli technology. It equals Israel-India's ties for tomorrow.” Later, when Mr.Modi met the Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, he, in what seems to be a response to the previous comment, said t

It is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Israel since Independence. Actually, India and Israel should have been natural allies since the beginning but for the warped policies of Muslim appeasement by Nehru and the Congress. This visit is the dawn of a new era because for the first time India is openly engaging with Israel without fearing what the Arabs ir Muslim countries will feel. Let us have a look at our relationship with Israel so far : Following events in the history play a very crucial role in bringing India and Israel as Close Friends : 1.Historic Jews settlement in India (Bene Israel) : There are evidences of more than 6000 Jews in India around 1830. Indians treated Jews respectfully where there are still many Jews residing in the coastal Konkan region in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Post Indian Independence many of th

India and Israel enjoy 25 years of deep bilateral ties with defence forming the most important pillar of the relationship. Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu gave PM Modi a red carpet welcome on arrival – signalling to the world and India the importance of the latter’s visit. “Tomorrow, my friend Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive in Israel.

Israel has been deeply involved in key areas of India’s development, yet no Indian PM has ever vis
