The Yazidis and India
<p>The Yazidis live far away from India in Iraq, Iran and Turkey. Even though they have legends connecting them to the east, the idea of a link with India appears ridiculous at first sight. But history has wheels within wheels and sometimes reality turns out to be vastly different from common belief.</p>
<p>The Yazidis speak a northern dialect of the Kurdish language, which some call a separate language with the name Ezdiki. Their religion, <em>Yazidism</em>, is also called <em>Sharfadin </em>(the religion of the cultured folks). Reviled as devil worshipers for centuries by their Muslim and Christian neighbors, they have endured over 70 genocides in which millions died and most others were compelled to abandon their culture.</p>
