Bangalore: Our theory that the Brahmins are the “Jews of India” and both share the same value system is now well established. British historian Alan Hart in his speech here on Feb.17 fully agreed with our thesis that the Brahmins are the “Jews of India”. Here is yet another report about the growing unity of the two:
New Delhi: The Hindu-Jewish Summit of religious leaders held in New Delhi on Feb.5-6 by UNO-backed World Council for Religious and Spiritual Leaders (WCRSL) was a first time gathering of its kind. Hindu leader Swami Dayanand Saraswati, chairperson of All-India Movement for Seva, and Jewish leader Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger signed the declaration. The Hindu-Jewish leaders agreed to make some institutionalized effort to counter religion-based hatred and violence. They constituted a committee on Hindu- Jewish relations. The resolution passed is also strategically important. This whole event has left sorts of doubts in diplomatic and religious realms as the declaration has indirectly targeted Indian and Arab Muslims locked in communal and political tensions in their respective regions. “Although, Muslim extremism was not singled out, it was at the forefront of many participants’ minds,” said Rabbi David Rosen, International Director of inter-religious affairs at the American Jewish Committee, Jerusalem Post reported.
