Kaustav, presumably you'd like a serious response from an Israeli and not some smart-alec response from an ignorant non-Israeli, like Bob? Well here I am and here is my response.
Israelis have, by and large, very positive impressions of India. There is a great fascination here with all things Indian, and as such, India is one of the most popular travel destinations among Israelis. Inside, Israel there are some very prominent and well-loved Indian figures, most notably, Zubin Mehta.
I think both countries are coming to realize that they share a common enemy: Islamic terror. As such, they have developed extensive military dealings (arms/technology sales, etc), which have led to more extensive Indo-Israeli cooperation in various hi-tech fields. I know that India is also a world center of diamon cutting/polishing, as is Israel, so there is probably extensive relations in that field as well.
I can't, however, completely answer your questions because I don't know how Indians view Israel. I can only tell you that Israelis love India and hope that these feelings are shared by Indians towards Israel.

By Indo, I assume you mean India??
Israel doesn't have many friends in the world (and rightfully so), but given the fact that India has the 3rd largest Muslim population in the world, not too good.
Itay:
Barring my personal opinions of Israel, is it your opinion that only Israelis can answer the question??
Israel recently issued a warning to citizens to avoid further travel to Goa, a popular Isreali destination because of anti-Israeli sentiment in India.
There have been scores of protests against Israel in India during the current infidah and during their wonton destruction of Beirut (because of their inability to defeat Hezbollah).
As for a common enemey, Kashmir and Israel's occupation are 2 different issues. As much as Israel would like to show a link, India is not stupid enough to stand behind Israel and support its occupation.
