[edit] Jewish?
I don't understand the Jewish connection. Can someone clarify for me? There is nothing on Judaism in the article apart from Jewish reverence for him and links to Jewish articles. Norgy (talk) 20:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- There is a lot of evidence which suggests he was born into a Jewish family and then raised in a Jewish tradition before his multiple conversions/transition to mystic sainthood. See a recent paper (among others): The Identity of a Mystic: The Case of Sa'id Sarmad, a Jewish-Yogi-Sufi Courtier of the Mughals, Nathan Katz, Numen, Vol. 47, No. 2 (2000), pp. 142-160 (paper here). His putative Jewish background and these sources should be noted, and people should stop deleting/changing the references to Judaism/Hinduism/Islam history and people. It's ironic that the issue is debated here on Wikipedia, and that's fine, and is part of what makes Sarmad an interesting character. But if you are going to change the stub, or edit the article, please provide some sources. Yes, his background is disputed. That is the point. We're not trying to do original research here and come up with a definitive explanation for Sarmad's personal religious identity. Gershonw (talk) 02:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
