India-Israel Maitri aims to deepen the civilizational alliance between Israel and India by fostering People-to-People (P2P) ties between Israelis, diaspora Jews, Indians, and the Indian diasporas in the USA and UK. Despite mutual support, there is a lack of understanding of each other’s heritage, history, and identity. Our organization will bridge this gap, promoting in-depth knowledge and mutually beneficial partnerships.

Both Israel and India are ancient civilizations and modern democracies with continuous religious and cultural traditions. Jews and Hindus share many commonalities and face similar challenges. In the diaspora, both groups are high-achieving and community-centred, and face vilification from similar circles. Given the significant contributions of Israel, India and their diasporas in many fields, this initiative has immense potential.
