"I don't want to talk about the elephant in the room (anti semetism),"
There is no anti semitism in India. There are hardly any Jews here.I believe there is one synagogue in Kerala. Most of the few jews who lived in India emigrated to Israel long ago. Very hard to hate people who you never encounter! The religious faultline in India is Hindu/Muslim.
Interestingly enough the image of Jews is that of ferocious and competent warriors, not meek/servile/moneylenders/fill-in-your-favorite-anti-Jewish-stereotype, largely due to the fact that Indians know of Jews mostly through the lens of Israel and its wars. Even people who are Pro Palestine/Arab anti/Israel think Israeli armed forces and the Mossad are very dangerous.
