Since the formation of modern state Israel in 1948, the majority of Indian Jews have "made Aliyah" or emigrated to that country. Jews during the British colonial rule were divided into many different communities such as the Bene Israel and Baghdadi Jews,[size=11][2]though the Baghdadi Jews refused to recognize the B'nei Israel as Jews, and withheld dispensing charity to them for that reason while the Bene Israel continued to dispense charity to all those in need.[3]There are reminders of Jewish localities in Kerala still left such as Synagogues. Majority of Jews from the old British-Indian capital of Calcutta (Kolkata) have also migrated to Israel over the last seven decades.[/size]
When India became independent from Britain in 1947 and Israel declared independence in 1948 and with the heightened nationalism and emphasis in the Partition of India of Hindu and Muslim identities, most of Cochin Jews emigrated from India. Generally they went to Israel (made aliyah). Many from the migrants joined the moshavim (agricultural settlements) of Nevatim, Shahar, Yuval, and Mesilat Zion.[size=11][4] Others settled in the neighbourhood of Katamon in Jerusalem, and in Beersheba, Ramla, Dimona and Yeruham, where many Bene Israel had settled and maintained a Judeo-Marathidialect.[5][/size]
Between 1948 and 1952, some 2,300 Bene Israel made Aliyah to Israel, from India, many as refugees from predominantly Muslim lands (western parts of British India).[size=11][6] Several rabbis refused to marry Bene Israel to other Jews, on grounds that they were not legitimate Jews. As a result of sit-down protests and hunger strikes, the Jewish Agency returned 337 individuals in several groups to India between 1952 and 1954. Most returned to Israel after several years.[7][/size]
[size=11]Racism faced by Bene Israel[/size]
In 1962, the Indian and international press reported that European-Jewish authorities in Israel had treated the Bene Israel with racism due to their darker skin colour.[8][9][10] They objected to the Chief Rabbi of Israel ruling that, before registering a marriage between Indian Jews and Jews not belonging to that community, the registering rabbi should investigate the lineage of the Indian applicant for possible non-Jewish descent. In case of doubt, they should require the applicant to perform conversion or immersion.[8][9] The discrimination may be related to the fact that some religious authorities believed that the Bene Israel were not fully Jewish because of having intermarried during their long separation from major communities of Jews. Most Israelis thought that was a convenient cover for racially based bias against Jews who were not Ashkenazi or Sephardim.[11]Between 1962 and 1964, the Bene Israel community staged protests, and in 1964 the Israeli Rabbinate declared that the Bene Israel are "full Jews in every respect".[12]

You are saying an Indian cannot be a bani israel because of dna but I'm telling you that dna can be spread through cross nations marriages
Why are you focusing on lineage that you can't trace back to thousands of line ...what counts eventually is the faith?

Islam is a faith.
Bani Israel, which means children of Israel, is a people.

Agree.
However, when some among the children of Israel rejected Jesus, meaning they didn't have the correct faith, they were still children of Israel. So, being an Israelite has nothing to do with faith but DNA.
Wallahu 'alam.
