Before entering Egypt on Joseph's request, Joseph told Jacobe and his family not to disclose their identity of being shepherd. He informed him Egyptians hate shepherds. .....................'lord is my shepherd'................Christ is symbolized as a lamb.............a parable of shepherd told by Christ.
All these imagery, all these contexts, symbols and the text enter in a country viz. India where a community viz. Dhangar already exists with its different texture and culture! Somewhere in maharashtra dhangars are called kurmars. they observe or used to observe more casteism than others.
What exactly would have happened with the psyche of Indians while accepting this new middle east context?
