1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 4to. 64 pages; 23 cm. Divided into various chapters including “The Bene Israel, ” “The Cochin Jews, ” and “The Baghdadis. ” “It will be seen that at the present moment it is the Bene Israel who predominantly constitute the Jewish presence in India, Each of the three groups maintained its separate identity, with little admixture, except of the Baghdadis and the ‘White Jews’ from Cochin, though, as it will be seen later, Jews from Cochin, as far as is known, first ‘discovered’ the Bene Israel, recognised them as Jews and improved their knowledge and observance of Judaism. The groups became Indianised in varying degrees, the Bene Israel being the most Indian in dress, language and mode of life, the Cochinis less so, and the Baghdadis least of all. It will, therefore, be convenient to treat of the three groups separately. ” SUBJECT (S) : Jews, India, History. OCLC lists 6 holdings worldwide. Slight toning. Very minimal markings.
