A. Ghani Khan says
Most people look at his nose and say he is a Jew. Because they cannot link him with anyone else, they say he is one of the last tribes. His Islamic faith and it's inevitable influence on his life and manners give a certain plausibility to this impression. Yet the basic principles that rule him no matter who the king is, are more Spartan than Jewish.
He further writes ..
"... Racially he is clearly Greek crossed with something, What that something was I don't know..."
he further says .. "Whatever he might be, he is not a Jew, for where will you find a Jew who will tell his child about war and courage, death and glory. He is perhaps the mixture of every race that came to India from the heart of Asia. The Persian, The Greek, The Mongol and the Turk.
Each race has contributed something to his virtues and vices, looks and beliefs, religion and love songs. His temperament, like his clothes, is picturesque and elegant. He loves fighting but hates to be a soldier. He loves music but has a great contempt for a musician. He is kind and gentle but hates to show it. He has strangee principles and peculiar notions. He is hot blooded and hot headed and is poor and proud. If that is what you call a Jew, then he certainly is a Jew, nose and all.
