How closely related is Moroccan cuisine to Indian?

I'm looking for gift ideas for my dad and was going to get him a Tagine and a Moroccan cookbook since he enjoys cooking so much but then I remembered that he's said a few times that he doesn't really like Indian food. So I'm wondering how similar they are as far as spices and such go.How closely related is Moroccan cuisine to Indian?
They are not similar in taste at all. I am a big fan or Moroccan food, but I don't really like Indian food. Moroccan cuisine does use spices, like Indian cuisine, but does not use curry. The spices are usually cumin, paprika, or dried ginger, but are used quite sparingly as opposed to Indian cuisine, which uses more spices in higher amounts. Have your father try out a simple tagine (my favorite is lamb or beef with green beans) or even a cous cous.
Moroccan food is TOTALLY different from Indian food. Moroccan food is not spicy at all, we don't use alot of hot pepper, mostly cumin for a more smoky taste.How closely related is Moroccan cuisine to Indian?
They are not at all similar.
There's only about 5000 miles between the two.
