Abstract
This book celebrates the cultural legacy of India's Jewish communities: the Bene Israel of Maharashtra, the Cochin Jews of the Malabar coast, and the Baghdadi Jews who migrated to Bombay and Calcutta. The literature on Indian Jews, though considerable, has so far concentrated on their history and anthropology.
