History of Indian Jews in India, including their past, present, and future.
Few communities feel a sense of connection to two countries they regard as their own: Jews refer to India as their motherland, and Israelis refer to Israel as their fatherland. Growing Up Jewish in India, compiled by Ori Z. Soltes, is a book on Bene Israel, Baghdadi, and Cochini Jews in India, their rituals, and lives. The preamble is 18 pages long, followed by an introduction on Indian Jews as a heterogeneous diaspora that is nearly as long, indicating the topic’s complexity.
