I think you haven't read enough into their struggle in India where they resided, for 100s of years they were always referred to as outsiders and enemies. They were often in wars and due to it, had to migrate from place to place. So, yes they were prosecuted by Indians. fyi.

@@Olaberg13 beg to differ. In fact you need to do some reading up. Judaism in India dates back to ancient times and is among the first foreign religion to come to India. Dates back to the time of the Ancient Kingdom of Juda. They continued to come in several waves. Some of the lost tribes found their way here too. Because this was a land that accepted diversity and assimilated outsiders. There may have been a stray incident of resentment through the centuries. But it’s a blatant lie that they had to fight wars for their existence in India. Would like you to quote a single such incident from recorded history. India is an exception. And every Jewish leader has maintained that. Even today, young Israelis flock to Goa when they finish their compulsory military service. Because India is one of the safest places for them to unwind. Read up please. Maybe you should visit India too and find out the truth.

in india muslims are converted... where as in Mizoram they were not but keeping generation to generation.

van miller This is only true for some Muslims in India. A big majority of Muslims in India trace their ethnicity back to Turks, Persians and Mongols. There are also many Yemeni Muslims in Hyderabad for example who moved there when Hyderabad was an Independent State run by the Nizam.

Jeetu_Ghorpade! No, they aren't originally from Saudi Arabia. They're people that are descended from converts to Islam. Some or many of those converts were probably forced to convert.

genius ass✌

you are an idiot, racist, evil to say those things, they are from a tribe of Israel, menashe and have been following the Judaic way of life for thousands of years and deserve to come home to the holyland Israel, their true home.

Was there any proof of Asiatic peoples in Egypt and the Middle East?

@@guyp9596 If you look at the statues of the Pharaohs and that of the architect of the Pyramids, you will see that they all have almond eyes, with Asiatic features. Albeit there are still tribes in Africa who have Asiatic looks, who could be the remainder of those Asian migrants from 1000s of years. There is actually some who believe there were groups of Asians who migrated from the North into the Anatolia and then they split into 2 groups, 1 remained in Anatolia, and another migrated south into the Africa. This migration happened about 4000-6000 years ago.

@@Olaberg13 Umm, i’ve been thinking and just came up with a theory. What if there were Asiatic looking peoples in Egypt and Anatolia thousands years ago like you said. The tribe of Manasseh have Egyptian roots, since Joseph married an Egyptian. So that would make sense to why Bnei Mensashe looks Asiatic. But I don’t think other Israelites tribes look asiatic.

Jagath Jayasena Martin Luther was a anti Semite

That's because you are MIZO not Bnei Menashe

I know where you are coming from. The fact of the matter is that #1, they are till today are treated as outsiders in India by the neighboring villages and people. #2, All the Jews have united and created the State of Israel and called upon all Jews to return to the Holy Land to form a united Zionist country, which they did. Now, they need more people to build and defend the country and their identity. Your African theory is not believed by many. That theory just came to live due to it #1 them finding the oldest human skeleton/fossil in Africa, and some other reasons that is convincing to many. Now, they have found older human remains in China, we can't keep on changing our origin, every time an older skeleton is found. However, we can connect ourselves with our ancestors within each group. For example most north indians, Iranians (those claim to speak Farsi), Pakistanis and Bangladesh people are from the same root, but you people don't have a sense of unity, otherwise, you would unite as well. Hope this helps you with the cause and reason.

So true

You clearly don’t know the Torah

fanaipakhup because they need to learn Judaism they have long forgotten their roots

Because there are not Jewish and their claim of Jewish descent is a total and complete BS.

Because like any other religion Judaism has different casts. They're getting converted to the cast accepted and practiced heavily by the state. Eventho it might be their cast which most likely is the closest to the original Judaism religion from back in the days. Basically they're converting to the beliefs of the European Jews, in brief.

@@juliatube2007 I'm sure they're more Jewish than most Jewish. I think first the Arab Jews, then these Jews, and then the Turkic Jews, then Persian Jews and finally European Jews in this order are closer to the original Jews. Lookwise, these guys are probably closest to how the original Jews looked like. Study history of the surrounding area and compare it with Holy book stories, you will find some new discoveries.

I'm almost 100% sure that India like any other country around it or around the world, had their own share of discrimination against the minorities. You have every right to take pride in your identity and celebrate whatever you desire. But make no mistake, India today and in the past, had as much share of discrimination and fights with minorities as much as other countries did.

@@Olaberg13 your understanding of Indian history and its multi cultural ethos is flawed. Have we had conflicts and wars? Certainly. But are we believers in homogeneity? No way. Therein lies the uniqueness of this land and its people. Did you know, we don’t even have a National Language or a State Religion? Because diversity is so close to our heart.

First off, they don't look Thai at all. Secondly, as you could dig abit more and learn further about these people, you will find out that they have migrated after the Assyrians put all the Jews into exile, so this tribe, find their ways in India. Nevertheless, there are many Tibetans who also live in India as well.
