THE BRILLIANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE

This community has been the worst persecuted throughout history. From the Egyptians to the modern-day Nazi Germans, all have threatened their survival as a community and, yet, they thrive today as ever before by dint of their superior intellect and force of character. No other community in the world has won such a vast percentage of Nobel Prizes than the Jewish people. Hitler tried to obliterate this race by his infamous 'Final Solution'. The Nazis killed 6 million out of the then 6.6 million Jews living in Germany. What a loss to civilisation it has been considering the fact that the German Jews were highly erudite and many of them were front-ranking scientists of the world, a fact of supreme importance when we try to understand how the United States of America suddenly turned into the scientific super-power since the mid-nineteen thirties. Hitler's persecution drove the likes of Einstein and his fellow Jewish scientists out of Germany seeking asylum in U.S.A. What Germany lost, America gained and that is the explanation.

This exceptional intellectual prowess of the Jews Einstein has attributed to the deep sense of reverence the Jewish people traditionally have for learning. It is this ingrained cultural inheritance of the Jews that has carried on the tradition of higher learning to this day whereby they have devoted themselves to the pursuit of academic excellence and the discovery of knowledge. And all this while forever being reviled by Christians as the murderer of Jesus, by the Muslims as inferior people of the Book, by the European nations as unfair usurers, by the Germans as sub-human species and, exceptionally by the Hindus alone in this wide world as fellow pilgrims in this terrestrial sojourn towards Godhead. Woe unto the persecuting nations of the world and glory unto India for her protection of this endangered community but for whom we would have today been dwelling way back in the dark of the Middle Ages! We should bow down to this most exceptional of races among humankind and salute their unmatched contributions in every field of knowledge.
