Anjanay Mishra,student,MAXFORT SCHOOL:For many years you have been struggling for your existence. What steps will you take to maintain peace in your region? I have been dealing with the peace process for 10-15 years. The most important thing about this ongoing venture in the Middle East is to never lose hope. You have to understand that the peace process is going to end in a two-state solution and you have to contain the crisis. You have to understand that on the other side,there are human beings mothers,fathers,families and children. And you have to be very restrained and calculative and never lose sight of where you want to go. One of the most indispensable things from an Israeli point of view is security. If we dont find a formula to provide Israelis with security,the peace will not last. Israel was conceived in the cradle of World War-II and the Holocaust. And the minute you reach this conclusion,there is a certain importance to other side accepting you as who you are. Nishta Aggarwal,student,MAXFORT SCHOOL:How do you view relations between India and Israel in the future? We are going through a very positive process of increasing mutual understanding and recognition. Look at the number of tourists traveling between the two countries it is almost one lakh people a year. For Israelis,India has become a kind of milestone in the progress of graduation. We are investing a huge amount of money into culture in India. Shweta Mehta,teacher,Maxfort School:What is the scope for higher education in Israel? We have this joint programme of academic research between Israel and Indian universities. For instance,if you are a student of Delhi University and want to do your research in Sanskrit and you find yourself a partner in Israel,you can get a budget for this. If you are an Israeli student and want to study Yiddish and have a partner in an Indian university,you can get funds. We believe in the future of education between Israel and India.
