Ahmedabad’s Bene Israeli community and the larger question of Indian Jewish identity

This article talks about the Bene Israeli community in Ahmedabad, as well as Jewish identity in India as a whole. When it comes to antisemitism, the Indian Jewish community is thought to be the only one not to have been harmed by it. The history of the Jewish community on the subcontinent goes back more than 2,000 years.

Unlike the Parsis, the Jewish people in India aren’t as well-known as the Tatas. Their numbers are even smaller, and they don’t have the same “brand name” as the Tatas. Besides, many Jewish Indians speak Marathi and have Marathi or Konkani names, so people often think they are Hindus because they look like them.
