I'm not Jewish, but I've always wanted to learn more about the Jewish people and Judaism. I've read the Torah and several accounts of history to better understand Jews and their culture. One question I have is would modern Jews actually understand which of the 12 tribes of Israel they belong to? I understand that Jews are really good at keeping their historical and family records, but are they able to track their lineage? I know they've been displaced for so long, so what actually ties the people to their traditional roots?
The word Jew comes from Judah, one of the 12 tribes you mentioned. I think the common understanding is that most modern Jews are descended from Israelites of that tribe (augmented, of course, by generations of those who converted into the community). As for what happened to the other 11 tribes, that's one of the great historical mysteries. About the ties to tradition, ethnoreligious groups (of which Jews are one) tend to give special focus to cultural and religious preservation. Also, believers (mainly of Jewish and Christian backgrounds) tend to posit that God has a special covenant with the Jewish people, which has contributed to their survival as a distinct people despite centuries of exile and brutal persecution. I'm a gentile, so take my words with a few grains of salt.
I want to know how many Indian Jews are in Israel and why did they leave India because they were never persecuted here in India. Namaskar from Calcutta 🙏
There are at least two well sourced articles on Wikipedia about this. I recommend reading "History of Jews in India" and "Indian Jews in Israel". Both articles provide background and some statistics. I hope that helps.
There was no land called Israel, no land was named israel. The name of the land was something else. But yes the children of Israel lived there. It does not mean the land name was israel.
Respectfully, I would suggest the video is acknowledging the role of the religion of Judaism and consequently, the rejection of the religion of Judaism is a rejection of a significant aspect of what it means to be Judaism in totality. It would be something akin to someone like Richard Dawkins acknowledging he is cultural Christian.

I think the video does a great and succinct job but if you disagree, I would ask what you think it means to be Jewish. How would you define that? Again, as I posted previously, Richard Dawkins concedes he is culturally Christian. Can being Jewish be reduced simply to enjoy eating klezmer music or eating challah bread, hamantaschen and sufganiyot?
I suggest you read about "ethnic religions". Wikipedia is a good start. Judaism is one of very many ethnic religions. That means you are born into Judaism. I know that people can convert to Judaism. Traditionally you are only Jewish with a biological Jewish mother. Discussion about being recognized as Jewish with a biological Jewish father are ongoing if I remember correctly. As a rule there are ethnic religions who don't proselytize, whose participants share at least some common genetic background and you're still part of the group even if you don't believe in the religion anymore. Then there are heavily proselytizing religions like Christianity and Islam. You are part of their religion if you confess a belief in their religion. You can be of any genetic origin possible. Both types of religions have discussions about how to deal with people leaving the religion. Some ethnic religions have discussions about who should be permitted inside - simply because not enough babies might be born. All religions are as complex, varied and diverse as humans are.
Very well and succinctly explained, thank you. 💙 תודה רבה
Great video !
