Finally, we’re going to look at some new research. New book: Shalva Weil talks about her new book, “The Baghdadi Jews in India: Maintaining Communities, Negotiating Identities, and Creating Super-Diversity,” in this video.

This book looks at how the Baghdadi Jewish community changed dramatically overtime during their stay in India from the end of the 18th century until they moved on to Indian diasporas in Israel and English-speaking countries around the world after India became independent in 1947.
