We Hindus needs to learn how to protect them selves from Israelis. India and Israel should be best friends to support each other to protect their heritage. Wish this wish comes true soon.

I love to visit again and again

I visited Israel in 1999. I stayed in Rehovot, Jerusalem and Tel-aviv. Israel is a mystical land. Of many countries I visited I found Israel and India are two countries that have some spiritual magnetic power that influence your soul. I always wondered when my Jewish friends said - Israel is lang of God. It is indeed. I am saying this after personal experiences. I wonder when Minister said - Every Indian wants to visit Israel - He meant Every Hindu! I wish Indian Govt. strengthen the India-Israel bond and take it to new heights.

  This shows your taught by American History books in USAschool system
  - By Patel

  USA schools history books are prepared and controlled by Biblical promoting groups and so they have mandated to teach three things in the schools : Sati system, Untouchability and Cast system. All pics are shown only about poverty. This systematic create down graded pictures even in children of Indian origin population. Yet in England they have teaching Sanskrit in their schools system. What a contrast.
