Kenneth Robbins, a South Asian art collector who has documented several expatriate communities in India, and Pushkar Sohoni, an expert in the Deccan’s Islamic architectural traditions, have collaborated with Surendra Kumar, a topographic panorama photographer, to create a compact yet exquisite guide book on the Deccan’s rich Jewish heritage.
While there are now some books on Mumbai’s Bene Israeli and Baghdadi Jewish heritage that are more comprehensive in terms of research and even visual documentation, Robbins and Sohoni’s Jewish Heritage of the Deccan: Mumbai, The Northern Konkan, and Pune combines luminous photography with brief commentary.
