Dear Amprayl Achayan,

There is one crucial differenc between the ‘Persian Nasrani-Jew’ scenario and the ‘Malabar Nasrani-Jew’ scenario. In Malabar the Jew and the Nasrani had good relationship.There never was enimty. I often wonder why? as it sounds ‘Utopian’. After much pondering I have come to the conclusion that it was because the ‘Jew’ for over 2000 years was never persecuted in Malabar (possibly in India too!) In Persia the Jew was persecuted. When respect is shown to an individual, then that individual tends to pass on respect to others. I wish to have some good criticism on this point

(By the way, if correct, I am going to patent it!)
