Between Jews and Hindus, a Bond Based on Culture and, Now, Terrorism Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/29/us/29religion.html?pagewanted=print
NEW YORK, USA, November 29, 2008: Ani Anighotri is the co-chairman of an 80-member group in the Atlanta area called the Indo-Jewish Coalition. In its modest way, the coalition attests to the deepening bonds between Jews and Hindus, whether in Israel, India or the United States; and this week's events demonstrate a sad element of connection. "There is some natural affinity being developed between Indians and Jewish people," said Mr. Anighotri, 48, "Because both these countries and people have been affected by this kind of terror — killing of civilians, something despicable that is happening year after year." Cedric Suzman, who until recently was co-chairman of the Atlanta group, echoed the sentiment. "In times like this, you suddenly realize that you've built bridges," Mr. Suzman said in a telephone interview. "So instead of recrimination and accusation, you have a huge coming together of sympathy and understanding." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
