Did the Jewish refugees who arrived long ago intermarry with the Indian locals or have they kept separate?

There's so much I don't know about India, and as I've mentioned before, I find my lessons in history, culture and geography amazing right here, on your amazing blog, very informative and interesting! I can imagine the strong aroma of those spices filling the air and how it certainly seemed intoxicating from the heat.

My initial response was 'they call it that?' but then when you experience the area and the pride of the locals pointing out the highlights and contributions, you wonder why one society can make something so negative out of words while another can make it a thing of beauty.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-71049236274855409572015-09-10T08:42:02.062-07:002015-09-10T08:42:02.062-07:00Glad you enjoyed it!

The size of the bus alone would have prevented them traveling down that spice road and the atmospherically-controlled interior (air-conditioning) would have kept them from ever enjoying those intoxicating aromas.Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-27902073033735484952015-09-10T08:39:56.337-07:002015-09-10T08:39:56.337-07:00Thanks for the visit and comment, Ruth.

This name is plastered on directional and welcome signs; they are so proud of the area and its history that it makes you wonder how and why in some places in the world you have that knee-jerk reaction to things. While one society sees it as offensive another society uses it with pride?Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-64870910556488648762015-09-10T08:34:15.664-07:002015-09-10T08:34:15.664-07:00Thanks, Cloudia - glad you enjoyed the post!Thanks, Cloudia - glad you enjoyed the post!Jackie and Joel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074129927177165084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-11903565380623609442015-09-10T04:29:58.240-07:002015-09-10T04:29:58.240-07:00I'm with Doreen, above, kind of put off by the...I'm with Doreen, above, kind of put off by the name "Jew Town."
