India and Israel. Hindus and Jews.
This thread is about the history of the mutual interaction and relation between two of the oldest extent civilizations of the world.
We will also look at how appeasement politics alienated our ally and affected our own international position
The earliest trade contact between Hebrews and Hindus could have dated back to the era of David and Solomon.
"The king had trading ships at sea along with ships of Hiram. Every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons"
Bible( Kings 10.22)
According to the Old Testament, Ophir was the name of the place famous for its wealth. Solomon traded gold, silver, sandalwood, pearls, ivory, apes, and peacocks
Modern scholars have identified Ophir with Abhira kingdom of western India

Seriyana loosu. This is why I said Eelam activists are better off doing kuthu rap instead of worrying about whether Shiva is Vedic or not. Then these same people say Om Namah Shivaya. Adding Om and Nama: automatically makes it a mantra.
**Long thread alert**
Mantras are only found in Vedas, not in the common tongue. Anyways, her perspectives matter zilch. What is more alarming is how a proper Thirumurai vakyam such as Anbe Sivam is being twisted and appropriated for nefarious agendas and how SM is brazenly peddling the same nonsense.
Yasya nishvasitam Vedaa: yo vedebhyo akhilam jagat | Nirmame tam aham vande vidyaatirtha Maheshvaram ||
One Whose very breath is the Veda using which the entire Creation was made, I bow down to Maheswara Who purifies with His wisdom.
So, if Vedas are really His own breath, how
can one draw stupid faux ethnic identities denying His indication in the Vedas? This has no rationale even to the self-proclaimed rationalists.
Let's attempt to understand what the naama Shiva means. I believe this foundation is important before we go on to understand any Naama vaibhavam. Do note that in SD, the Naama and the Naami are indifferent. In fact, Bhaktas consider the Naama to be greater since
**Long thread alert**
Rig Veda the oldest only mentions Shiva twice. Common sense? Zoroastrianism.

Nehru was officially classified as "Class A Prisoner".
He had newspapers, books, servants & coolies. He was allowed to walk out & meet others.
He was also allowed Switzerland trips "while technically imprisoned".
Savarkar was locked up in Kalapani & beaten up for 10 years
It was only once in his life that Nehru was treated just like any ordinary prisoner.
This was in Nabha Jail for 12 days.
Within 12 days, Nehru's father begged British viceroy.
He wrote an apology & assured that his son Nehru will never enter Nabha.
12 Days v/s 10 Years!
Nehru's jail in Ahmedabad had a badminton court specially built for Nehru and other top Congress leaders.
On his insistence, a library was made accessible to him during prison terms . That is how he could write books while "imprisoned".
A fitness instructor also attended to him
Nehru's jail terms were essential political stunts in building up his image as a great freedom fighter.
However, they seemed more like exotic getaways than real prisons
The 12 day imprisonment of Nehru in Nabha jail was harsh.
When Motilal came to know that his Nehru was locked up in a real jail, he rushed to meet Nehru but was forbidden by the administrator of Nabha.
Then, British viceroy came to the rescue of Nehrus and overruled this order

Savarkar was locked up in Kalapani & beaten up for 10 years
Jawaharlal Nehru, India\u2019s first prime minister, spent nine years in British jails. Savarkar famously wrote letters appealing to British rulers and was questioned in Gandhi murder conspiracy. Just saying.
