why are you so scared...India is secular country respecting all religions...but with rash traffic....

We like to display our unit in diversity..Jews are as much indian as Hindus...a jew can be Prime minister of india pr President.

We are very proud of our multi religious history and society.....only country in the world with historic Jewish presence to nevre have practised antisemitism.

WE love all religions....

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't scared at all. For us in the US, having something called Jew Town isn't what we would call politically correct. But, it is no different than how we have areas in cities called China Town or Little Italy in New York City which is a wonderful cultural experience. I loved that there was a 500 year old synagogue there that I could visit!

I loved my time in India, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life.

I agree- the traffic was intense!

i respect you for replying in such good words, i have written you a reply.....I know what you mean ]because having a hindu town in India would be a political disastor.

Indians really respect US multi-cultural ism as we are similar in that sense.....

Thank you for trying to understand India and really understanding it. we are really proud of our history where we could help someone in need read Jews and Tibetans.

Shalom nameste :)
