The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a Palestinian rights organisation, recently filed a war crimes complaint against Israeli soldier Eitan Gilboa, traced in India's popular 'Hummus Trail' hotspots.
About Hummus Trail:
It is a term coined to denote the travel route through India most frequented by Israelis, particularly post-military service.
Every year, around 80,000 Israelis visit India, a large number of them young veterans who have been discharged from the mandatory Israeli army service.
This trip, known as the Tiul Gadol, could last up to 6 months or a year and is mainly funded by the bonus they receive after serving in the army.
From the north to the south of the country, there are several areas which are frequented by Israelis, and this is colloquially known as the ‘Hummus trail in India’.
The Hummus Trail starts from the Union Territory of Ladakh,moves further to Kasol (also known as mini-Israel), Bhaghshu, Dharamkot, Tosh, and Kullu in the Parvati valley of Himachal Pradesh.
It also includes remote areas like Kalga, Pulga and Talga, which are known for their ‘Israeli settlements’.
It connects the Hindu religious places of Mathura and Vrindavan and moves towards Pushkar in Rajasthan.
