- 3 Want to read
"The Jewish community in Cochin has been in South India for at least a thousand years, if not twice that. Spice traders, agriculturists, and merchants, these people served their maharajahs as prime ministers and military generals.
This readable study, full of the vivid details of everyday life, looks in depth at the religious life of the Cochin Jews, as well as the Bene Israel, from the remote Konkan Coast near Bombay, and the Baghdadi Jews, who migrated to Indian port cities and flourished under the British Raj. Who Are the Jews of India? is the first comprehensive work available on all three of India's Jewish communities."--BOOK JACKET.
