Dear George,

I have got my friend’s test results with me in detail as he asked me to have look at it to see for matches and I did the same. He also is in touch with Mr. Jacob. And his results are as I said earlier in brief (R1a with many Levite Jewish matches). His results are far from Indian/Brahmin samples. He got it tested at ‘Genebase’ and he may probably upload/pool them onto the syrian xian database. As of now since he hasn’t yet uploaded it for public display I also cannot do the same to respect his privacy. Once he makes it public then can I do the same. As of now I can just mention his results as I did earlier. Hope you understand this and thanks for your concern.

Regarding the Bene Israelis of Maharashtra, I would like to correct you politely that they are called as ‘Shaniwar Thelis/Telis’ and not ‘Shaniwar wallas’. ‘Teli’ means oil-pressers in local language. And their profession was oil-pressing and the only day they abstained from work was Saturday. hence the name ‘Shaniwar Telis’. The probably one and only Judaic custom they followed was the Sabbath rest on Sat. which led to their community been discovered by the other Jews and they were restored. They were/are perfectly locals in all respects. They never were even aware of their Hebraic heritage till then.
