Why do Indian people hate Jewish people, like you stated in your first post? I would suspect an Indian Muslim to harbor hatred for a Jewish person, but a Tamil Christian?
I don't want to speak for a nation or lead to generalizations.. But my family (and extended family and their friends) greatly dislike jewish people and a few other races...In fact, my sister (born in the USA) constantly make jives against my jewish gf ("happy Hanukkah! Oh, it's not Hanukkah, I'm sure there's some jewish holiday right around now".. grr..).. It's hard to explain why but I think it has a lot to do with the false impression that jewish people are all very rich and very successful... It's partly jealousy and partly that they feel that the government, society pulls strings for jewish people.. They also hate black people based on the fallacy that black people are lazy but live off of government cheese... It's ludicrous but they continue to harbor these feelings even though they've lived in the U.S. longer than they've lived in indian (they're in their 50s but lived in the U.S. for 30+ years).. My gf and her family are working class, hard working and generous people but my parents still feel that they're cheap yet loaded... It defied reason, I know..
I get it now. It's not that INdians are racist, it's that your family is fvked up.
I lived in a neighborhood with a lot of Indians and Asians. A lot of them are like this. (FROM MY EXPERIENCE)
Really? Specifically against Jews? In my twenty one years of being an Indian and dealing with them more than any single man should endure, I have never picked up any hint of anti-Semitism. In fact, many of the Indians I know are big Israeli supporters since they believe that the Palestine situation mirrors India's dealing with Pakistan.
Since all I?ve done in this post is thread crap, I thought I?d offer some advice, one Indian to another. Assuming all of these suggestion fails (and they probably will, not because they don't have any validity, but because I know the type of mother you have described), You have to make a choice between doing what is in the best interest of your families happiness or doing what is in the best interest of your happiness. Is that fair? Of course not, but that is what the situation is. Decide if this girl is worth more to you than the combined total of any happiness that you could gleam from another goal and the value you place on your family?s happiness. If she is, marry her and cut most of the ties with your family. If you?re lucky, they may come around and eventually accept her (better to accept a "bad" daughter than to lose a son). If they don't, your new wife and you can continue to live your lives without their interference. If your families happiness is more important and you think you can be happy with another girl, than you know what to do.
I know this sounds all a little cold and mechanical, but it is time for you to make a stand one way or another. Be a man. Make a decision and stop stringing this poor girl along if you don't plan to do anything about the relationship because of you are under the delusion that you can change the will of an overbearing mother.
