Jewish community in India is brilliant. Educated and kindhearted people who are part of our Indian family.
They are brilliant everywhere on earth! Otherwise it would not have been easy to resist whole lot of unfriendly neighbors around Israel. So here comes their brilliance in maintaining security and integrity of the only Jewish nation Israel!
@@adolf9025 But wtf is wrong with your name?
@@PaulAllen6304 Nazis spoiled many good things.
Its a shame that we(most of us) didnt know that General Jacob was a jew,born in Bengal. With merely 3 thousand soldiers he made Pakistan surrender saving a lot of bengali lives.Salute!
@Stuxnet Lassa brother general Jacob is a Jew. Sam maneksaw is a parsi
@@kalpatarupatra6975 only in india you will find, a parsi, a jew, a sikh leading an army of a hindu majority country
@@tejas8211 also there are many muslims in the army
Well said everyone, that's the real solidarity and Integration. That's waht secularity means and not what the moronic parties make us believe. It so better in earlier days

'Calcutta' is the anglicized version. 'Kolkata' is the version as is spoken and written in bengali, hence is the original version. A lot of bengalis when talking to someone in hindi or english yet still may use Calcutta, because for quite a few recent years that was the official name hence we say it out of habit. But when speaking in bengali will again use kolkata.
True. That's what I was gonna write. Kolkata is the Bengali version but confusion arises as some institutions like C.U. still uses the name Calcutta.
Same with Mumbai... Some of these people use these anglicised names because they think it sounds cool, but it displays their hypocrisy, because these same people act woke and end up promoting colonial mindset...
@@srinjoykumarmitra1698 Yes but that's mostly because changing names is problematic.
@@sayantansantra2332 Yes.
@Gargee Basak You tagged the wrong person, because I didn't even talk about Calcutta university, but the person above me mentioned it... Also, the hypocrisy I talked about is about these people acting woke and then encouraging colonial mindset...
You should look up the Cochin Jews in Kerala. They are the oldest community of Jews in India who have been here since at least the 12th century if not earlier.
St. Thomas grave is in Chennai. What more proof one needs that he came to India!!!
1000s Jews still live in Kerala.
Hell yeah
@Linpaws hsohg Hsohg no thats North eastern Jews. Kerala jewish are known as Cochin jews (Cochin was port city they are the oldest jews in India) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_India . There are other jews in India in Mumbai, Chennai etc
Not really. Only a handful of jews are left. Most of them migrated by 1990s
Pretty much everyone returned to Israel after residing peacefully for 500 years in Kochi, Kerala. Synagoges are still there, cemeteries are still there, few left in Kerala to look after those as monuments in the care of Government of Kerala, if you care there are tons of videos on net
This gave me another reason for feeling proud to be an Indian! It is saddening to lose such lovely people.
There were plenty of Arab (mostly Iraqi) and other Sephardic Jews in India. The actors David and Nadira were Jews.
Big one is David sasoon..
The famous mumbai dock and a library in Mumbai named after him..
Israel, once formed, passed a resolution in its parliament "THANK YOU INDIA" as India was the ONLY country which never discrininated against jews!! Thats Hinduism for you..
*that's India for you
Like Rick said Jews & Judaism. The peoples group / race & religion are different.
Indians (Hindus) are people between Indus River (S{H}indhu nadi) to Indian Ocean(Hind mahasagar)
We had over 400+ kingdoms in recorded history pre-British & pre-Mughal era. Nobody same belief system. No same way of worshipping.
Kings courts had debates with wise religious gurus from all over. Thats how Buddhism spread to China.
Not like missionaries spreading Cholera blankets or Islam spreading by swords.
Through word of Peace. & healing herbs of Ayurveda & defense through Shaolin & stamina building through Yoga.
As they said Jews were amongst 1st FOREIGN religions to come to India.
So technically Hindus & Hindu Kings protected & sheltered them.
Not to Forget our Rich Culture.
Columbus didnt go to look America.
He was Looking For INDIA.
Because the rise of Islam cut off the Land route/ Silk route of olden civilization.
As Shashi Tharoor's speech said The Greek women were fond of Indian Muslin cloth that was describe as " As Fine As Woven Air".
And I would love to know ANY LINK that we can find to help save Jews' heritage sites in Kolkata & everywhere else in India for that matter. Even Parsis if possible.
They are Landmark heritage sites of rich history & culture of our Land.
Anything we can do to help.

@Niladre Chakravarty Nope, what about Jains, Buddhists, Chravakas, Yogis....what you are referring is called Hindutva!
Ravish Bhatt Israel? What’s that
Niladre Chakravarty yeah I only know Palestine. Israel is what I use after going to the toilet
Around 3000 Jews are currently in India at present... A lot of them left India when Israel was formed to live in thier own Independent nation...
Tony Starc in occupied palestine, you mean.
May god give more power to israel so that they can occupy whole Palestine...
vaidehi's world Loser!
@@h.tajoori6475 thanks..
Kolkata was a melting point of polar opposite cultures, chinese, Afghani, parsis, Jews, Britishers, Burmese, iranis, different parts of India...and we love them all
I fill with pride becoz of the fact that India was the only place where jews were never ever persecuted. Take a bow!
You said it. Appreciate you for bringing that little known aspect to light.
Also react to African Siddi community In Gujarat. Its also an amazing Educational video you would love.
Well, Hindus have no grudge against Jews since their belief does not conflict with that of Jews and Hindus have always been some how tolerant to other faiths.
What somewhat tolerant????
Hindus have been tolerant towards every religion but if you are gonna come and shove down your religion down someone's throat saying it is the only right thing , obviously ppl will retaliate.
And by the way there is this thing that India didn't have any religion.
You want to address it as Hindu and call it a religion but no.
There is no belief system, no prophecy and no such person who is unquestionable in our culture be it Krishna or ram.
Hindus have no grudge against any other religion naturally. Keyword "naturally".
@@paulsaha2242 yup because they themselves worship a million gods and goddesses.
That is there is over a million religions within the same religion and they never had any problem with that.
Sadhguru fan spotted. Btw I also like watching his videos.
Sorry to say Rick.. It is KOLKATA... Brittish made that Calcutta.
Govt those are failing in present glorifies their past. There is no need to wipe out the history that India was once a British colony
Hi@@NileshKumar-nr2vj, what do you want to say?? R you trying to support the mis pronounciation of the word Kolkata done by British ??
Well........Kolkata was an outcome of the British rule .....the city won't have existed without them...... So I guess........Calcutta ain't too wrong :-)
@@user-ut2fd7xh4l Well why don't u check out some history and find if there existed any village named KOLIKATA and how with time it started to be pronounced as KOLKATA.
@@user-ut2fd7xh4l Also if there were any Portuguese colony named CALICUT and just to grab the European market of products of that British named the town as CALCUTTA. Like today's
ADIDAS => ABIBAS
PUMA=> UMA
Hit the markets of DHARMATALA u will understand.
Well it was Kolkata and is Kolkata, when the British came they made it Calcutta for the sake of their pronunciation. Like wise they changed Mumbai to Bombay.
They made whole South India into Madras as it was the only place they were fully in control while others in the South continued fighting. Unfortunate that North Indians still call all South Indians Madrasi😐🙄
KJ C , true that! South Indians are still called #Madrasis by the Northerners.
I don't think Calcutta/Kolkata existed before the brits came... They leased three villages- Sutanuti, Gobindopur and Kalikata from the zamindar of this area and named it Calcutta.
And there was a ditch dug up around it which probably gave it's name... Ditch - Khal, to cut - kata.
When the British came there was no Kolkata 💀💀
Hey, I am a student of Jewish Girls School. :) And Mrs Sullivan has always been a beautiful mentor at encouraging us to give our best in life. She is the oldest alumni of the school. This interview of Mrs Cohen and Mrs Sullivan was shot at the school itself.
Wow...
Rick is a Jew? Really? Wow good thing to know.
Not really surprising America probably has the highest Jewish population in the world
There is a good population of Jews in US ! Happened when immigration gates were opened. There is also a considerable size of Jews in Kerala
You can many a times tell by the colour.
They are a bit more tanned white.
Like the actor of suits.
Same colour as Rick.
Not always tho
@@ankushzap if they had to flee there is no elite in that bunch
Bombay is anglicized.
Calcutta is anglicized.
Even Delhi is anglicized.
Isn't Delhi real name "Indraprastha" ?
Dilli or dehli were pure they made it delhi😂
@@swatirs8522 But the original name of the city was "Indraprastha" since even before the times of Gupta dynasty
@@rahulray9983 no doubt 😊🙏
I prefer Kolkata, Mumbai and Indraprastha. A spanish girl from Barcelona.
500 villages in kashmir were renamed from their sanskrit names to arabic in 1990's. An example of systemic erosion of history..
@Suresh M you can call arabic mixed with hindi called as urdu names which are obviously islamic.
@Z L which lands?
I heard there's a China Town in Kolkata. You can check that out too.
There is but their population is also declining since most of them have left for the US
Not one but two China towns
There are two 😊
Fun Fact - In probably Kolkata there is a synagogue which have a caretaker who is Muslim their three generation has done same jobs and offers their prayer in synagogue premises.
Wow guys if it was not for your reaction video i would not have come across this video. Thanks and keep up the good work.
India is the only country in the world where Jews were not persecuted
No conversation.
U same u don't know more history of Jews people try to search in Google about Moroccan Jews
Cheers! Guys, your show is always getting better better and better
Thank you for this vid. Nostalgic about the olden days in Calcutta
101 India has great contents related to Chambal's Bandit and also a Encounter specialist of Chambal's Bantits.... that is something on which you should react upon. Only dance and trailers is not whole India.
If you meet an Old Bengali, he/she will say that they are from Calcutta, Kids will say it's Kolkata. The village was called Kolikata before the Brits set up a factory here. So it's a basic Class approach. Snoots and snobs will still prefer Calcutta over Kolkata because of the love of European Education.
People are more proud of saying it as KOLKATA, and MUMBAI.
I know how the name Mumbai came into being, because of Mumba Devi(goddess) its name was called Mumbai. Britishers just changed names all over India for their sake of pronounciation guys. After they left many names were changed back to original.
❤️
The Anglicized name Bombay is the reason for the name "Bollywood"
Otherwise Bollywood would've been Bengali film industry today
@@rahulray9983 wait what ? No way. You know who started the film industry and told people we should do it ?
"Dada Saheb Phalke" a man from Nashik, Maharashtra. Went Mumbai and made India's first Film which was in Marathi Language.
@@parthrampariya 🤦I'm talking about the term "Bollywood" not the origins of Indian film industry
@@rahulray9983 oh sorry. Got it now. ,✌️ 😁
@@rahulray9983 true dude most of the early creators were bangali xD
Well I am not sure if it's the case but we Bengalis call Kolkata Calcutta when we are talking to people in foreign languages but in Bangla it's Kolkata. Also this is most likely prevalent for people who are born before the 2000's cause the name changed quite late unlike mumbai. So today's kids will call it Kolkata in all three languages but people born before 2000's may call it Calcutta in other languages but it's Kolkata in Bangla
There is another video showing how one of the last synagogues has a Muslim caretaker. This doesn't have to a react video but definately another good video to see religious diversity in India.
My mum grew up in chawls (slums) in Mumbai in the 70's. She is Catholic. However, because on the area she "jack of" all religions. Mum's family handed out sweets for Christmas, Hindus for Diwali, Muslims for Eid. So I love seeing attempts at harmony when others wish to divide :)
You can't call a chawl a slum. Thats very offensive to people who live in a Chawl. They are way educated and have good manners compared to those who live in slums 🙄
My mum's family were raised in chawls and are educated enough to not take offence. This post is about harmony. Please don't make it something else.
Rick this might be your true calling!!
Move to kolkata and look after this beautiful place and indrani of crouse 😁🤟
Well said. Rick should head that group in USA which will run the Jewish Trust of Kolkata.
India -Israel have had relations since the last 2500 years
You guys are my favourite ♥️
Loved the Judaism 101 from Rick!...learnt something new.:)
Bombay was actually Bon Bay, the good bay.Circa 1550AD the Portuguese sieze the Island from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. It became a bay for European ships to land/dock in India so it was the Good Bay or the Bon Bay. Around 1660 AD, it was given as a Dowry to Catherine of Braganza when she married Charles II of England. He then leased it to the East India company to develop it as a trading port. Bon Bay became Bombay with alteration of pronunciation. The cluster of districts/ villages which was predominately of weavers and fishermen suddenly became a busy port called Bombay.
Today's Bombay was way different some 300-400 years ago. Today's South Bombay or Town was the actual the Isle of Mumbai (Bombay). With the industrialization by the Brits, setting of railroads, the different islands got connected by road or filling up of basins making a , making 7 Islands into 1 big Island of North and South Bombay. It was hub for ttextile industry and exports.
The name Mumbai comes from the the original village and its Goddess- Mumba. The Word Mumbai is conjugation of 2 words- Mumba (Goddess Mumbai) and Aai (Mother in Marathi - the local language), hence Mother Mumbai- Mumbai (Prononunced- Mumba-ee)
Hey what happened where is the second video korbin , are you asleep with lealand , please post a video if you read this
Did you get a chance to go to KAILASHA temple , Ajanta and Elora caves...in Maharashtra.also visit akshardham temple in delhi.
Sutanuti, Gobindopur and Kolikata formed Calcutta(as pronounced by the British) in 16th Century(most probably).
Did you guys just lose all your India trip footage????
There’s a Jewish community in Kerala as well. When I went to Kochin, I stayed at a boutique hotel that was owned by a Jewish family.
SOME ACTUAL NICE AND GOOD CONTENT , AFTER A LONG TIME. :-I
I know of jews here in mumbai too and there are a few synagogues too.
one special thing is that unlike the rest of the world, jews have no history of persecution in India
Yes they are marathi jews came here and settled near pen panvel area.. We used to call them shanivar teli..
Cause they are mainly in oil business and don't work on Saturday so..
Even their surname is like penkar, shahapurkar etc.. They speak marathi only and lot of them migrated to Israel.. Even there they are trying to keep alive their marathi culture..
They have their own magazine published in marathi named myboli..
Hindus + Jews both are oldest civilization, education, science and business skills of both communities were strongest since day one.
Shalom - Namaste 🙏
Kolkata is the new version which is used in all official places. Interesting fact Kolkata airport abbreviation is CCU because it still follows the older anglicized version "Calcutta"
So, about what you mentioned, Kolkata and Mumbai were the names of the cities, and the pronunciation was anglicised to Calcutta and Bombay. After the independence of India, the names were reverted to their original counterparts.
@0:42 There is a specific disease from which ppl die like that..!
Could not recall at the moment. 🤔
Anyone pls?
sir he is legend in music industry
Some Jews are still there in Kol and quiet prominent in the social circles. I had Jewish friends in school ( of mixed descent) and I noted that a Rabbi used to teach the students of that faith in the school during the earlier decades of the last century. Some central Kolkata quarters are dominantly Jewish owned...
One iconic shop of Kolkata from the Jews is Nahoum's in New Market.... Founded in 1902, by a Baghdadi Jew, it has been the most famous bakery of Kolkata ever since.
Well...Kolkata is the actual pronounciatuon in Bengali which is derived from 'Kolikata'. Infact Kolkata was made by combining three villages Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kolikata on the banks of river Hooghly(a distributary of the Ganges). Kolikata was a fishing outpost while Sutanuti was a weavers colony. Job Charnock is often credited to be the founder of the city...although the region has been inhabited for over two millenia! It was a part of an estate belonging to the Mughal Emperor. According to a legend when the Brits first landed, they asked a farmer about the name of the place. But the farmer misunderstood and thought the man was asking him when had he reaped the rice he was carrying on his head. He replied 'kal cutta' meaning 'reaped yesterday'. In this way the city's name is actually a misnomer.

Are you still in India or back in US bcoz I think the international flights have been stopped ???? Please reply
They are in USA
Bombay is anglicised version of Mumbai.. the name mumbai derives from a goddess named "Mumbra".
My verdict after listening to Rick : CALCUTTA is KOLKATA & KOLKATA is CALCUTTA.
it was Calcutta by the British changed to Kolkata after Independence actually.
One more video guys!🙄

Seems like Rick confused between Kolkata and Calcutta as which one is the anglicised among them!!
Now watch about the Siddis ( an East African tribe ) in India.

Check Rick's UA-cam Channel.
There's also the story of the Jews in Mauritius, where there's no known / recorded incident of persecution be it systematic,organised, carried out by individuals or otherwise. For being Jews that is.
During World War 2, Mauritius, then a British colony, did host Jews who were fleeing persecution in Europe.
The kolkatta jews (also called Baghdadi jews) were the last cluster of Jews to arrive in India. The first ones were the Bene Isarelis (Sons of Israel) around 1000- 1200AD, it is said that a storm in Arabian sea pushed a a ship of 8 families of Jews to the coast near Bombay. The landed in a small fishing village and then settled there. For work, being industrious by nature, they started pressing oil that was used for cooking and varnishing the the fishing boats. Though cut off the motherland, they did continued their Jewish traditions. Given that they followed Sabbath- That means no work on Saturday. They were called Shanivar (Saturday) Teli ( oil pressers) . Over the centuries, they adapted to living in INdia and picked up some rites and rituals from their Hindu neighbours. Though many of them have biblical names or names from 1st testament, many have adopted the surnames from villages they come from- So if you see Ashtumkar ( From Ashtum) or Penkar (from Pen), Nagaonkar ( from Nagaon), Many of them also use David as their family name.
There is still a small jewish community in my city Pune.
So interesting

We have welcomed Jews, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Muslims alike.
While jews were being persecuted all over the world before formation of Israel, Indian jews were stay peacefully. India also has one of last surviving groups of Zoroastrians who migrated from Persia(Iran) during 7th century after islamic conquest of Persia. Mumbai and gujrat has a big Zoroastrian (Parsi) community. We have also given Refuge to Dalai Lana after China was after him. While Muslims from central asia were fleeing during Mongol conquest, we welcomed then too, and 1st Mughal Emperors was from modern day Uzbekistan. While we may be little xenophobic now, india used to be very chill. Now all of the sudden we've started talking about "outsiders".
Love Sonia trailer pleeeeeeese
I welcome all the jews to India
Sorry Rick but originally it is Kolkata..the Brits made it Calcutta...personally it's my city so I don't have an issue with either of the names coz it's the emotion that matters more to me!
Calcutta and bombay are british names given to originals mumbai and kolkata. India is bringing original names back like Beijing from peiking and myanmar from burma
Next should be Kabuliwalas of Kolkata
Jews were found all over India and have been living in India since last 2500 years..India is the only place on the planet where the Jews did not face any persecution.
Find out about the Jews of Gujarat, Bombay,South India..They have much more older history
Hey guys, plz react to raftarein video from ra one movie (ft. Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena kappor)
A huge request. 🙏🙏
Once a few thousands years ago when Jews were made to leave their mother land and they have been here since before the Muslim and Christians came to India and have lived here since then but they never were ever harassed by any body in India once partition happened we have a few millions in India but since Israel was formed and it started growing people migrated to it how ever there a few who still live here and safe thanks.
Happy Summer in India #beatsummer
If OSR didn't make videos, I'd actually get work done at the office....
You haven't got Corona holiday yet ?
@- king- Most cases of Corona is infact in your neighboring state Kerela
Now that's some jewishy content right there!
We had no reason to discriminate against the Jews. The “discrimination” we are seeing elsewhere is strictly based on Religious rivalry, which is not there in case of India or actually Hindus. It’s not a country based but a belief based discrimination. They were not discriminated by Americans, British, Arabs or Turks and also not because they were Israelis. They were discriminated by conservative Christians and Muslims because of their beliefs. Hindus never had anything to do with other ways of life. So they were just another group of people. Hence the possibilities
React on Asur web series
jews are also in kerela colony was made by king jai singh of jaipur and jews came from poland in 1942 during that time the jew town in kerela is still there
