Jews in Gujarat to receive minority status soon

[KapitaanAli]

Little documented history exists on how exactly these jewish people end up in India and if you can provide more information it would be helpful.

As far as Kerala Jews are concerned, the first immigration was around 1 A.D.
They're called Malabari Jews.
Then there was an immigration of Iberian Jews in 15th century. They're called paradesi Jews.

Majority of Jews left India when Israel was formed, prior to that they were kind of living in exile.
Giving minority status is just a political stunt, nothing more, never heard jews asking for it.

Do you know that most jews still prefer to live outside of Israel?

So what benefits do you think will this political stunt bring? Given the numbers, it can hardly create a political leverage worth the effort in the upcoming general elections in India in 2019.

1 A.D?
That is not possible. You can say 1st century A.D where Jews could have used the already existing trade routes from Israel to Yemen and onwards to India.
But this is all guesswork. Nobody knows for certain

Modi and Nehtanyahu are good friends.

Modi and Nehtanyahu are good friends.

That is true.
Both face international isolation as well.
So makes sense.

What do you mean by "kind of living in exile"?

They've been here for centuries man.

Exile from where?

Cheers, Doc

Netanyahu's case is bit different than Modi.

You know ...... modi has tea and hugs to sell, and everyone seems to be fond of it, whereas Netanyahu is really spreading their influence (comparing their population and size) Israel may not be facing Isolation but india on the other hand ...... everyone talks nice on their face but behind the backs we know what they must be saying. Its a Sunday bazzar ....... jo dil chahay baich day.

Pleasing Israelies to get more investments in Gujarat. Which in turn feeds development agenda stats.

Please read why Jews came to India, what happen in the region of Israel in that era of time.

What investments do Gujarat need? Is there a water shortage there as well which is fueling these political stunts?

O bhai, I am well informed about the same.

That was a VERY long time ago.

By that token I suppose even the Zoroastrian Parsis are living in India as exiles?

Do Parsis face discrimination in India?
A look at the mainstream media do actually suggest that they face constant harassment and are stereotyped and most usually live in ghetto like conditions.

Sad

PDF is not the barometer of India.

No social media or defence forum is.

Yes.
