| Message | Hi Samyuktha garu, Congratulations for your work. I am also one of the people who are interested to find links between different religions in this world, basically to show the world that we are all from one family and so we should live peacefully. One point in Similarities of customs: 6a Every village has an village goddess. The village goddess of Kamakur is unique as she is known by the name Yaw-lamma . This name was not found in any Government records on the list village goddesses of India. - The goddess of kamakur is Yaw,this name is only found in the Jewish mythology. Here I have a comment, that "Yaw-lamma" resembles very much with the word Yellamma (which is a form of Kalika devi). But your statement says that this name was not found in goddesses of India records. Can you please explain, if my understanding or interpretation is different? However, to give my comments, it is good seeing your arguments and archeological agreements. But still I too think (as few others did) there is something lacking which says that "Yes, this is the proof". To show everyone that you are not biased, you may try to approach for a proof with contradiction. By contradiction I mean try to prove that something is definitely wrong in this. In this way, as per my belief, you would rather get more positive points (proofs) and you can project that unbiasedness.(As few said, may be you can even check for some DNA analysis for both sects, if possible.)

| Message | Hi, The author needs incontrovertible evidence which will stand scrutiny of international scholars. Confirmation bias can make one pick out similarities rather than dissimilarities while comparing the genesis and development of lingual, caste and custom characteristics. |

| Message | Further to my last post, etymological or phoenetic resemblance is not proof enough that Telugu language was present in B.C. To show how fallacious this argument could be, if Shakespear had lived in B.C, one could claim that he was a brahmin with real name Sheshappa Iyer. Muslims may claim him to be their own with real name of Sheikh Peer  As someone suggested, something like a DNA linkage or strong archeological evidence only can stand the scrutiny of experts. This is not to discredit author's attempts, which is deserving of praise  But a lot more serious research needs to go into this field. Sridhar |

| Message | Very interesting article. I am delighted someone is doing a serious study on this subject. I always felt there was a deep linkage between the Jews and the Hindus, much more than what would be suggested by trade and commerce alone. My ex-wife once said that present day jews originated from brahmins who migrated abroad  The author has unravelled only a small part of the linkage. SriChakra is found all over India, mostly in south but is not confined to Andhra Pradesh. Kataragama (Kadiragama) is a holy place in Srilanka where god Muruga (Kartikeya) is worshipped in the form of a yantra whose symbol resembles srichakra or star of david. The problem with the article is author's attempt to desperately try and link Telugu to a remote past. History does not bear testimony that Telugu evolved seperately from Tamil. I know many Telugu speakers get mad when i suggest that Telugu originated from Tamil. I would suggest that author keep an open mind on this. She seems to have started with a preconceived bias that Telugu as we know it originated in a remote past. I recently read a book by Stephen Knapp (Proof of Vedic Culture's global existence) that suggests that in a remote past vedic culture had pervaded everywhere. In this regard, as many experts have suggested recently, Aryan Invasion of India is a myth perpetrated by colonial rulers of India and has little historical foundation. Sridhar |

| Message | Great invention – also wonderful research – all telugu-s will feel proud about their history. Comparison of Nanni;s letter with today’s Telugu language is good. |
