It looks to me like Bangla/Bengali - ie the script used in Bangladesh, which indeed looks very like Indian.

I lived in Bangladesh for 4 years and this looks very similar to what I used to see there.

That was my first impression but doesn't Hebrew (and Arabic) run from right to left? The paragraphs are arranged from left to right. Only thing I could come up with is (guess) ancient Greek??
