[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^So you choose to identify one of the groups - the Bnei Menashe - to question the veracity of the link I posted and decide to ignore the very first one in that link, the "Cochin Jews" whose antecedents are less in question.

[i]The origin of the Jewish community in India is not certain. [b]Traditionally [/b]Kochi Jews trace their lineage back to the time of the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E. Some even[b] claim[/b] to go as far back as the Assyrian exile in 722 B.C.E. The Book of Esther actually contains the first written mention of Jews in India when King Ahashverosh refers to the Jews dispersed across his wide empire from Hodu (Hebrew for India) to Kush (Ethiopia)[/i]

The other PP who questioned the use of tradition made a more legitimate and valid point.

Google is no friend if one chooses to be biased and selects the more questionable claims to challenge the antecedents of Jews in India while ignoring those that may have more basis.

The Bnei Menashe is just one example that the links provided do not support Jews being India before the 1st century.  The above quote is another.    Note the use of  the words "traditionally" and "claim" which indicate lack of empirical evidence and reliance on unfounded reports.[/quote]
