The oldest Jewish synagogue in the English-speaking world is in Cochin in Kerala. All the religions co-exist in perfect harmony – possibly because of the high standard of education among the population. The literacy rate in Kerala has risen to 100% over the last 10 years or so. Life expectancy and the infant mortality rate etc. are comparable to the West.
